Every housewife from time to time is faced with the need to get rid of stubborn old stains on various kinds of linen. This is especially true for kitchen towels, the stains on which appear most often. There are many different ways to wash your laundry without digestion. Since such a process negatively affects the condition of the fabric, leading to rapid wear of the products. Recently, home bleaching with sunflower oil has been very popular.
If you smile with a smirk when you hear such a recipe for washing kitchen towels, then it's in vain. After all, this method is easy to use, while at the same time imparting crystal whiteness to the fabric.
Advantages
The main advantage of using sunflower oil to bleach linen at home is the ability to remove stains even on colored kitchen towels. At the same time, the product will not have a negative effect on the brightness of the colors and will not leave white spots on the product. Due to the fact that vegetable oil is included in the composition, softening is observed, as well as partial neutralization of the negative effect of washing powder or bleach on colored fabrics.
If your white kitchen towels during use have lost their former brightness, become "worn" or gray, then such a tool will help them become snow-white again.

Popular ways
Let's take a look at some of the most popular recipes for making kitchen towels fresh and clean.
Vegetable oil and bleach recipe
To soak laundry, prepare the following ingredients:
- 5 liters of water;
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil;
- 100 grams of any powder for washing;
- 2 tablespoons of dry bleach.
The water must be boiled and poured into a container where the soaked laundry will be located. All other components are added to the water. Note that the most inexpensive powders, bleaches and oils can be used for washing. All ingredients must be mixed well. Dirty kitchen towels must be placed in the resulting slurry. Please note that textiles must be dry. In such a solution, the laundry should lie down for 2 or 3 hours.
Control the temperature of the water - once it has cooled down, the tea towels can be wrung out and placed in the washing machine. Choose a program that has a quick wash and a fairly intense rinse.

Removing dirt with vegetable oil and vinegar
A similar recipe is suitable for washing large amounts of fabric.
To implement it, prepare the following ingredients:
- 15 liters of boiling water;
- 3 tablespoons of vinegar essence (its concentration should not be less than 70%);
- 120 grams of washing powder;
- 3 tablespoons of baking soda or bleach
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
All components should be mixed well until they are completely dissolved in water. Laundry is placed in the resulting suspension. Note that if you use baking soda instead of bleach, then only white textiles can be washed in this solution. Because the baking soda will have a negative effect on the colored dye. For colored kitchen towels, bleach is the best option.
It is better to leave the textiles to stand at night and start doing the laundry in the morning. Thus, the fabric will be soaked for about 6-7 hours. After this time, the towels are placed in the washing machine, the appropriate washing and rinsing mode is selected.
A similar recipe is perfect for both waffle and terry towels, with which housewives and their households wipe their hands.

Basic tips and useful tips
Compliance with simple rules and recommendations helps to quickly deal with stubborn dirt on the fabric.
- Vegetable oil should be poured only after all other components have already been dissolved in water.If this is not done, then the resulting oil film on the surface of the water will slow down the process of dissolution of all ingredients, as a result of which the effectiveness of the recipe used will decrease.
- If stains are removed with vinegar and baking soda, then be prepared for the liquid to be very foaming when the components chemically react.
- Place only dry kitchen towels in the container. If they are wet, then recipes for bleaching linen with sunflower oil at home will not be as effective.
- If you are washing colored fabrics, it is better not to use recipes that contain ammonia or hydroperite.
As you can see, there are many different recipes that can help you wash and bleach your laundry using sunflower oil. In addition, this ingredient will not only get rid of stains and dirt, but also refresh the brightness of the paint and make the fabric softer, which is especially important for terry tea towels.
