### 🧺 How to Use It:

1. **Fill a large bowl or bucket** with hot (but not boiling) water.
2. **Add 3 tablespoons of baking soda** to the water. Stir until fully dissolved.
3. **Optional Boost:** For extra power, add a tablespoon of hydrogen peroxide or vinegar.
4. **Soak your white fabrics**—t-shirts, socks, rags, pillowcases—for 2–4 hours (overnight for heavy discoloration).
5. **Rinse well**, then launder as usual in the washing machine.
6. **Air-dry in sunlight** if possible, which naturally enhances whitening.

### 💡 Why It Works

* **Baking soda** breaks down acids and grease that cling to fabrics.
* **Hydrogen peroxide** lifts organic stains without damaging fabric like chlorine bleach.
* **Hot water** opens fabric fibers, letting the solution penetrate deep.
* **Sunlight** naturally brightens whites through UV exposure.
