Crush two or three uncoated aspirin tablets, either eighty one milligram or three hundred twenty five milligram. Sprinkle the powder directly into the drum of the washing machine before adding your clothes. Add your normal detergent and run a standard cycle. Warm water gives the best results because it helps the aspirin dissolve and activate.
This method is excellent for workout clothes, baby garments, pillowcases, towels, or vintage linens that have slowly lost their brightness.
Method Two for Stubborn Stains
For garments that are heavily yellowed or stained, dissolve four crushed aspirin tablets in one gallon of warm water. Submerge the fabric completely and allow it to soak for two to six hours. For deep discoloration, overnight soaking works beautifully. After soaking, wash the items as usual.
This method is especially effective for armpit stains, collar rings, or fabrics that have been stored for long periods.
