- I am so excited to finally be testing out the Borax Laundry Stripping Hack and when I found these nasty yellowed pillowcases in my cupboard I almost threw them away until I realised they would be the PERFECT thing to test out this laundry hack on. I'd seen this hack around on youtube and tiktok but never on something as bad as these pillowcases. I was stoked when I saw that all the ingredients could be bought at Woolworths too which is always a bonus. I was super happy with the results of this hack! Definitely one I'll be using again and again! xo
Sorry I had to re-upload this TWICE because of some technical issues... apologies all.
Borax - $5ish - www.woolworths...
Washing Soda - $3.85 - www.woolworths...
I am SO sorry guys I had to reupload this (twice!) due to technical difficulties, of which I am having a lot today!!
ANYWAAAY let me know if you try this hack out!! It really IS a winner!!
I combined two methods. Liquid soap, hydrogen and baking soda. The stain began to fade almost instantly. I let the curtains soak for about 5 before rinsing.
I have also found thus works when things are really dirty. Good tip also when washing white bedding and towels always wash it at 60 degrees minimum with powder detergent they won't get like that again and it will help clean the inside of the machine also without damaging the fabrics.
Hey @Chris King thanks for the tip I'll definitely try it out!
Really good video,I'm a guy but I'm gonna try this,I get tired of always buying whites so often when maybe I won't have to with this method...
Is washing soda equivalent to baking soda?? I have borax & the liquid detergent…may try it without the washing soda (& just add baking soda) & see if it works!!
It's a different thing. Stronger alkaline than baking soda.
I can’t wait to try this! I already have everything I need on hand! I have a bunch of t shirts I want to brighten but I don’t want to bleach. ALSO, and I mean this in the best way possible, I love the old school YT feel of this video. No mics or movie angles or wild cuts. You’re just a girl in a bathroom trying something new and sharing your results. Like YT was meant to be! I’ve watched at least a dozen white brightening videos today and this is the only one that actually felt helpful. So thanks on all fronts!!
Does this help save white sheets you accidentally put in the wash with a black tshirt and stained the sheets grey 😭?
Just tried it and got my duvet cover out of the dryer 😮 it worked! I showed my husband who is sick as a dog rn and even he noticed the massive difference! Woohoo! Thanks so much for this hack!
Hey @Eseta Myree Lemanu you're so welcome! 😊 Love to hear it worked for you totally makes my day!! Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️ love to hear the success stories!!! 🙌
How yellow were they
Does this work on coloured cloth? Does it strip the colour?
Not sure sorry I haven't tried on colour! I feel like it might strip colour though just a feeling
Thank you for the tip
All this is is homemade DIY dry laundry detergent recipe that so many people in UA-cam claim that it works in cleaning their clothing for only pennies a load. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think using too much Borax and baking soda can actually strip the color from your laundry.😢😢😢😢
Yes for sure that's why only use on whites 💗
Thank you so much for the information you provided. I started to send a different comment and it disappeared. Anyway, GREAT JOB on the video. I’ve trained in smoke, fire, water and hazmat restoration, which includes a great deal of expensive specialized, cleaning chemicals, and the education to use them. However, using the basic cleaners found at home as you were showing are even better and in many cases. I’ve also found that many of the specialized chemicals we use are based upon the simple cleaners use at home. Another real good pack or combination is also using volume 40 Hydrogen peroxide (12% instead of household 3%)
If you use baking soda, I’m sure you found that laundry baking soda is so much more expensive. Here in Washington state, the price is double that of regular baking soda. However, you can increase the efficiency and strength of regular baking soda, if placed on a baking sheet and toss it in the oven. Adding that to a couple of simple things makes all the difference in the world. On a sidenote, the hydrogen peroxide, volume 40 I was referring to is found frequently here in the hair and cosmetic department. Chances are you already knew this. In your video, you strike me as somebody who is as intelligent as they are attractive and kind. Great video, so many videos alike, but it’s the personality that keeps people listening. For me, it’s also the accent and words like “heaps”. Other technicians here, where we also purchase some of our supplies and get together and share knowledge, if you’re interested in any information that we may possibly be able to offer, you’re more than welcome. Hopefully in the future, you will share more of your knowledge and what you’ve learned from others as we do. Look forward to hearing from you. Have a pleasant day.
Respectfully,

Thanks @guy Brown thanks for sharing some great tips here, you're too kind! Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words and support it means a lot ☺️ ❤
I’m not far off from getting some hair bleach and trying that, Clorox bleach does nothing. My normal trick is just toss the old and buy new but that’s not easy for a thicker plain Snow White zip up hoodie, I don’t buy stuff online and those sweaters are like unicorns where I’m from
bleach turns whites that yellow ish color. i wash my dingy whites with this borax, vinegar, soap, then add bluing. look into bluing. it's changed the way i think about my whites!!
❤ BRAWO
You should always use bluing with your whites. It prevents the yellowing .
Completely impressive...and I'm in cause I just got my white mattress out of the dryer and it's more yellow /tinged and couldn't figure why. Was missing baking soda and a good soak before the washing machines hot water.💧 Got it. Thank youuuu so much.
Does this work on well water with iron/tannins?? My new house has hard well water.
Try bluing them. Laundry bluing
Hey @B.! I had to google this... I'm very VERY intrigued 🤔 have never heard of bluing! I'm going to have to try it out, might even do a video on it! Thanks so much for the tip I cant wait to give bluing a go!! ❤️
"This water is gunna be BROWWWN" 😂
Btw, the sheets look great! Nice one.
Thanks heaps girl! That water was definitely browwwwn!! Haha xo
Looks Great!!
Doesn't it! I'm so glad I've finally figured out how to get things white again!! Let me know if you try this one at home!
So good!!!!
I know totally saved my whites! Xo
Hi Emma!
I first found you while I was looking at how to keep my linen white cause yah girl loves white everything but can’t stand when they yellow! anyway I absolutely love your personality! I’ve been binge watching all your content (sooo good) and can I just say that I love that you swear I’m a mum with a potty mouth 😅 and it’s just refreshing to here someone else drop f bombs! I’m in Australia so it’s awesome to have get products that are actually here! 💗
@Mariabeth Pene Hey Mariabeth!!! OMG thank you soooo much for your lovely words and support!!! Honestly you just made my day girl 🥰 I'm soo glad you like the channel thank you so much for taking the time to comment it really means so much, I absolutely love getting to know my viewers!!! Always nice to meet someone who enjoys a little pottymouth too 😉😆 ❤ hehe
Borax banned in UK and Europe
I can buy it in the Netherlands.
Not true, there is no EU wide ban, u can buy it in many EU countries without issues
It's actually available on Ebay on the UK. For some reason Google thinks its banned but it's not. Borax substitute is available as well.
Why tho
Nothing works nuff of these claims I tried and zilch. These are just for who get the most likes & views. I don’t have extreme yellowed clothes like these UA-camrs advertise. Mine is deodorant stains. Let me see who comes up with the best bs.
If you don't have extreme yellowed clothes or bedding maybe this isn't the right video for you? Maybe try 'how to remove deodorant stains' instead?
Did you try 1 cup of clear ammonia in the wash or the denture tablets? I’m about to try those two separately soon
@@Malibusunrise TU will definitely try the denture tablets, because I am so out of ideas, but I do know that ammonia like Clorox will eat away the fabric & may be dangerous being so close to the body, those harsh chemicals are hard to completely wash out. But thanks for your input I will try the denture tablets.
Next time dont wait so long to wash them, you are right its disgusting
Haha those weren't dirty because I didn't wash them silly, yellowing of whites is common over years of use as I explained in the video, I washed these immediately before doing the borax treatment on them, I've had most of this bedding for a few years at least!
Sorry to say this, but it's true! You talk too fast and the accent doesn't help! Especially when telling the ingredients! 😮
Lol its only 3 ingredients and you can rewind if you need to 😂
