"textContent": "White clothing requires dedicated care, and there is a scientific reason behind it. Even light gray fabrics contain pigment that can migrate during washing, especially in hot water at 60°C and above. This transfer may seem invisible at first, but after several cycles, white fabrics develop a dull, grayish undertone that becomes difficult to remove even with oxygen bleach.\nWhy You Should Never Wash White with Gray\n\nColor migration occurs gradually. Repeated washing allows microscopic pigment particles to accumulate inside white fibers, reducing their brightness.\nPigment migration from gray fabrics\n\nAccumulation of micro-dyes over multiple washes\n\nHigh temperatures accelerate color transfer\n\nOverloading the drum prevents proper rinsing\n\n\n\nConclusion: Always wash white garments separately to maintain their original brightness.",
