After wearing your clothes for a few months, it is really difficult to remain bright and white.
Due to oils and sweat and discoloration from other clothes, they can be easily covered in stains. So the whitish color they have is not beautiful as before.
In order to preserve the condition of the white clothes, we use to buy expensive laundry detergents. These products are full of brighteners that actually make the clothes whither than before.
These chemicals give the impression that they are white and clean and make the clothes glow on ultraviolet lights. Large amounts of benzene are contained in numerous optical brighteners which is extremely dangerous substance.
When the people wear clothes washed with them, these chemicals lead to allergic reactions.
When exposed to daylight, optical brighteners cause reactions including irritations and rashes.
