Laundry expert's 10p trick to keep white clothes looking bright

White clothes can lose their brightness and turn grey or yellow over time. This happens because of detergent residue, body oils, and dye transfer during washing. It's most noticeable on everyday items like socks and shirts.
A laundry expert, Deyan Dimitrov, says white clothes can look vibrant again with common kitchen items.
The expert says table salt is great for reviving whites. Soak the clothes in cold water with five tablespoons of salt.
Leave the clothes to soak for at least one hour. The salt breaks down the dirt that makes them look faded.
Salt is good for removing stubborn stains because it's abrasive.
Mix salt and water to make a paste, and gently rub it into stained areas.
If you use the scrub, let it sit for 30 minutes before washing.
Deyan says salt is a great tool for fixing discoloured whites.
Salt is cheap and can be used with other natural remedies like lemon juice and vinegar. This hack costs just 10p.
Salt is a cheap solution.
Lemon juice has citric acid, which whitens fabrics and kills bacteria.
The acid in lemon juice can remove unwanted yellows and greys from white clothes without damaging them.
Add lemon juice to your wash cycle or use it to make a solution for stubborn stains.
Soak the clothes in lemon juice for 10 minutes before washing.
Hang your white clothes outside in the sun to dry, and the sun's UV rays will help whiten them.
This method works best on sunny days and is more effective when used with other methods.
