No need to waste toothpaste to clean your shirt collar; these two kitchen items will do the trick

Toothpaste hacks for cleaning collars often go viral on the internet and social media. People apply toothpaste to their collars and then scrub them with a brush.

Almost everyone enjoys wearing light-colored shirts, but cleaning them is also the most labor-intensive. The biggest problem with wearing white or light-colored shirts is that their collars get dirty quickly. Sweat, dust, neck oils, and wearing them all day leave marks on the collar. When you wash them, the entire shirt is clean, but not just the collar. This is why people have started using toothpaste hacks to easily clean collars. However, you can't follow this tip repeatedly. If you repeatedly apply toothpaste, an entire tube will quickly expire. If you also use toothpaste to clean your collar, don't worry. In today's article, we'll share an inexpensive solution.

The right way to use salt and lemon

People often follow these tips to clean their shirt collars, but they often fail. The reason is that you don't know how to use them properly. This method is inexpensive and uses readily available household ingredients. Lemons also become less common during the summer, so this hack will be useful.

  • For this, first of all you have to soak the shirt in any detergent powder.
  • After soaking for 10 minutes, place the shirt collar down on a flat surface, or even the floor.
  • Next, you need to use salt. Make sure you use a slightly coarse salt powder. Fine salt will take longer to clean the collar.
  • Spread 1 teaspoon of coarse salt over the collar.
  • After this, cut a lemon and rub it on the collar.
  • Make sure you gently rub the lemon directly onto the collar. Rub in circular motions for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • After rubbing, leave it like this for 10 minutes.
  • The stain on the collar will be removed by this process only, but if it does not get removed even by this then you can rub it with a light brush.
  • Salt and lemon together help remove stains quickly. Furthermore, the coarse salt makes it easy to scrub and requires little effort.
  • Collar cleaning tips will reduce your laundry time.
