Here are the stains that aspirin can dissolve
Aspirin in the washing machine removes yellow and grey from clothes and bedding. Whites shine again as when you bought the clothes, because aspirin penetrates deeply and removes stains and dirt .
It is especially indicated for sweat marks that form in the armpit area of T-shirts. It is also effective on grease or fat stains, as the effervescence induces a chemical reaction when it comes into contact with water. In this way, it degreases and removes scale without any effort .
Aspirin in the washing machine works because it comes from willow and therefore contains salicylic acid . It does not damage the fibres when it comes into contact with the clothes, which often happens when stain removers, chemicals and bleaches are used, which are also very expensive.
However, one of the causes of yellowing of clothes is bleach. It is often used incorrectly, spilled on delicate garments that absorb it and change colour. Other times, the quantities added to the washing machine are excessive and therefore turn everything yellow.
How to use aspirin to remove stains and degrease clothes
In this case, 5 325 mg tablets are enough to make clothes shine again. To use them correctly, dissolve the aspirin in 7 litres of hot water. They can be added whole or broken into pieces so that they dissolve more quickly.
Once dissolved, the clothes to be treated are immersed in the basin and left to soak for at least 8 hours. Ideally, they should be soaked overnight and left there overnight. This applies to those who are used to washing clothes by hand. Alternatively, throw the aspirin into the washing machine , letting it dissolve before starting the wash. Then give it to the boot.
When aspirin use is not recommended
Aspirin is recommended for use on white garments, but not at all recommended for use on black or brightly colored garments: the chemical reaction could discolor them.
It is also not recommended to use it on blood-stained clothing, especially with hot water, because you risk setting the stains even further. Anyone who wants to try it can try dissolving the medicine in very cold water and then soaking the clothing.
If the stain is already dry, you need to rub the aspirin on it and let it sit for a couple of hours. Then, proceed with washing. The result could be surprising.
