1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup white vinegar
Hot water (enough to cover the socks)
Optional: a few drops of lemon juice
How to Make Your Socks Brilliantly White
Pre-Soak: Fill a basin or sink with hot water. Add baking soda and stir to dissolve. Submerge your socks and let them soak for 30–60 minutes.
Wash: After soaking, add your usual detergent and wash the socks by hand or in a gentle machine cycle.
Add Vinegar Rinse: In the final rinse, pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar into the rinse water. Vinegar helps remove soap residue, soften fibers, and brighten whites naturally.
Optional Lemon Boost: For extra whitening, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the soak or rinse. The natural acidity helps lift stubborn stains.
Dry Properly: Air dry in the sun if possible. Sunlight naturally bleaches and brightens white fabrics without streaking.
