You know that awesome, perfect fitting white tee you have in your drawer? The one that took you forever to find and you don’t know what you would do without? Mine happens to be from Forever 21 and even though I love it like crazy, I try not to wear it too often because I’ve never been able to find another one. Imagine my dismay when I realized that regular wearing, washing and the body sprays, deodorant and lotions I religiously apply were making my favorite shirt appear dingy. Bleaching helped a bit, but I was really scared of damaging the shirt’s fibers with constant harsh bleaching. I am the queen of household hints and tips, so I set out on a search to help get my whites their whitest. Since y’all are such faithful and fervent readers, I decided to reveal my super whitening secreto to you. Pssst…when you’re going to wash your whites, add a bit of bleach like you normally would and let the washer basin fill up with water. You then drop in 1-2 aspirin into the water. Yes, aspirin, as in the stuff you take for headaches.

You then let the washer do its job. The first time I tried it, I must admit I was quite apprehensive but when I saw that the tops I washed were practically glowing with how blancas they were, I became a full-fledged devotee.  If your clothes are super-dingy, the aspirin trick might make a difference, but probably not as much as you would like. So, whiten at your own risk and be orgullosa that you learned something new and awesome!
