Why people use it: Pepper doesn’t clean clothes, but some say it helps prevent color fading because its abrasive texture helps wash away detergent residue that dulls fabrics.
How it’s used: Add 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper to the wash with detergent. Run a cold cycle.
Effectiveness: It may help keep colors looking fresh, but it’s not a cleaner or stain remover.
✅ Bottom line:
Aspirin → Best for whitening dull or yellowed whites.
Black pepper → May help preserve colors but doesn’t actually clean.
Neither replaces detergent, but they can be useful add-ons.
