    3. Wash off the stains on the clothes as completely as possible before storing them. In addition to water, inorganic salts, and urea, sweat also contains lactic acid, fatty acids, and a variety of amino acids. Organic matter that has not been completely washed remains on the clothing, and after a long period of oxidation, these residual small molecules will undergo chemical changes on the surface of the clothing, resulting in yellowing of color.

    5. When preserving, do not come into contact with leather and belts containing phenolic antioxidants; Avoid using brown paper, brown cardboard, plastic film, heat shrink plastic film that contains phenol antioxidants for packaging and storing clothes.

    For clothes that have turned yellow, they can be washed in the following ways:

    1. Use bright white and brightening laundry detergent to wash regularly machine or hand wash.

    For example, the yellowing of clothing does not improve.

    2. Soaking. 1) Pure white cotton, linen and polyester clothing: Add 1 cap (40 grams) of blue moonlight white clothes (Blue Moon Bleaching Liquid Upgrade) to each half basin of water (about 2 liters), stir well, soak in the clothes for 30min, rinse clean.

    If the stains are not removed after 2 hours, take out the clothes, add bleaching liquid to the basin (add 1 cap per half basin of water), stir well, put in the clothes and continue soaking, and the cumulative soaking time does not exceed 6 hours.

    2) Clothes or colored clothes made of other materials: pour a small amount of water (about liters) into the basin, measure the color stains of colored clothes (Blue Moon Color Drift Upgrade) bottle caps with blue moonlight colored clothes (Blue Moon Color Drift Upgrade), add each bottle cap (60 grams each) of colored clothes and collar to water, and stir well.
