Give New Life to Old Linens

Do you have any sheets or other linens that have outlived their bright white glory days? Are they now a sad faded yellowish color? Good news is, it's not too late for them!

You can restore your dingy "white" linens to their former glory using basic household ingredients.

All you have to do is fill a bathtub with warm water, then add in 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of salt. Soak your linens in the tub for an hour, stirring and redistributing your sheets every twenty minutes or so.

After their soak, wring them out as well as possible and machine wash with detergent and a little bleach. Your linens will come out looking brand new! Now I can even tell the difference between the white sheets and the champagne pillow cases!
