How to Whiten Socks Naturally – No Bleach Needed

Fill a basin or bucket with warm water.

Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar.

Optional: Add a tablespoon of lemon juice for extra whitening power.

Soak

Submerge the socks in the solution.

Let them soak for 1–2 hours.

Scrub Stains

For stubborn spots, gently rub the fabric together or use a soft brush.

Rinse & Wash

Rinse the socks with clean water.

Wash them as usual in your laundry machine or by hand with mild detergent.

Dry

Dry in sunlight if possible; sunlight naturally helps brighten fabrics.

Tips

Avoid bleach: Over time, bleach can weaken fibers and leave socks yellowed.

Regular maintenance: Soak socks once a month to keep them bright and fresh.

Extra boost: Add a small amount of washing soda to your regular laundry for even whiter whites.
