Summer is here, which means a total shift in the weather, our preferences in drink, clothes, and foods. We wish to stay breezy during the summer months. And clothes are a crucial part of that, take colors for instance. It’s better to wear light colors or white to help reflect some of the light than dark ones.
Keeping white clothes clean is not that easy. With time, it loses its shine, and even the unique setting on the machine doesn’t do anything magical either. It turns out there are other ways you can keep the color looking fresh.
