The aspirin formula, as we know it today, was developed by Félix Hoffmann in 1897, although there is data that corroborates that the white willow bark (where this medicine originally comes from) was already used since 1000 BC by the Chinese and Sumerian society.

But in addition to its pharmacological uses (anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic), the famous white pill has an amazing effect on clothes, with an amazing cleaning power. It is capable of removing even those yellowish stains that appear on light clothing after being stored in the closet for a while, or the sweat stains, which become accentuated over time.

As you well know, many white garments end up losing their original whiteness, turning more and more gray wash after wash. Either way, aspirin is presented as the definitive solution to this problem: Take 5 tablets of aspirin, or 325 mg., And let them dissolve in 2 liters of hot water. If you prefer, you can break them so that they dissolve more quickly

Once you have it, put the yellowish garments in the solution and let them soak for 8 hours, or overnight. Make sure all clothing is completely submerged in the water.
