Why white clothes turn yellow and how to stop it

We all love our white clothes, wearing them on special occasions to keep them from getting dirty. And yet, no matter how much you care for them we can never seem to escape the yellowing of these garments. Unless you already give them to premium dry cleaners like  Spin N Press , chances are that you have seen many of your clothes go from white to a dull yellow. But why does this happen and is there any way to prevent it? There can be many reasons for white clothes turning yellow. Environmental factors like the smoke in the air or the smoke from greasy cooking can be stored as residue on the fiber in your clothes and lead to yellowing over time.

These items may get lost in the rush of our daily lives but these are important items that make each day much more convenient. And so, just as they take care of us we should always remember to take care of them. Let us begin by taking an inventory of all our bathroom linen. Bath towels Shower curtains Bath mats Hand towels Bathrobes Quality bath towels can last upto 10 years if provided with the right care. But what is the right care? Most dry cleaners in Mumbai do not take the time to understand each cloth and the special care it needs. At  Spin N Press  we understand that the best way to wash your towels is to wash them separate...
