Summer is a time for getting out there and making the most of the sun.

Econs suggests a simple, eco-friendly solution that can easily bring your garments back to their sparkling best, and it’s only cost you 35p.

“To get your whites gleaming again, try a natural vinegar-based solution,” says Econs. 

“Not only is this method gentle on the garment, but as vinegar is less toxic than bleach, it’s more eco-friendly too.”

Creating this effective cleaning mixture at home is straightforward.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 teaspoon of washing powder
• 1/4 cup of white vinegar
• 1/4 cup of cool water

Application:

• Mix the washing powder, vinegar, and water together.
• Apply the solution directly to the stains.
• Lightly brush it into any affected areas.
• Wash the T-shirt right away.
