How to get clothes white again. Do you struggle with stains on your white shirts? Dingy whites are the worst! Bleaching white clothes can be hard to do if you don't know the easy steps. My daughter has to wear white shirts to school (uniform) and most of the kid's shirts look grayish. Not hers! Same with white socks and towels.

➡️ Clorox Bleach Pellets (check to see if in stock or get regular bleach) amzn.to/3l4mK2x
➡️ Arm & Hammar Laundry Pods amzn.to/3uzkGCQ (with OxyClean)
Note: there are some old or polyester fabrics that won't get white (time to replace). Give it a try, you'll be amazed at what a difference it makes! Just be careful if you use the kitchen sink like I did that you get everything out!!
OxiClean is bleach free. It's an oxygen-based stain fighter and brightener. It has no chlorine in it either.
I let my whites soak overnight. The towels didn't go totally white because they are several years old.

Part of the problem with dingy clothes is the new washing machines. They really don't get clothes very clean. UPDATE 7/18/22: But let me add one thing more. Consumer Reports just recommended Persil liquid detergent as the best on the market for getting clothes white. I live in an area where the water is super hard with minerals. So much so that my whites were all looking yellow and feeling stiff. I tried Persil and it really seems to work. My white clothes looked super white after one wash. I don't know what's in it, but Persil does seem to deal with hard water yellowing. One of the few times in my life when a product claim actually proved to be true.Thought I'd pass that along.

Then the MBAs took over Sears, had everything made in China, and ran the store chain into the ground. Some smart person should find a machine like yours, take it apart to see how it’s built, and start making them again.

This is a neat guide, but everyone should keep in mind that OxiClean contains a weak(er) bleaching agent (sodium percarbonate) and an optical whitening agent. This means that it should only be used on completely white clothing, not only colored clothing is off limits but also clothing with some color in it. I'd skip the (crystal) bleach, it just weakens the fabric.

@thedrunkengardenernb 7 ай бұрын

Sodium percarbonate is peroxide, it does bleach but takes a high percentage - I use tons of oxiclean on all of my clothing with no issue

Another tip is to hang white clothes on a clothesline. The sun also bleaches! For pre-soak, I have an acquaintance who soaks her white clothes in her chlorinated swimming pool because the chlorine for the pool is a different concoction than the chlorine bleach sold in the store for cleaning. Not sure exactly what she puts in the pool, but she's been doing it for years....I have a suspicion it is a combination of whatever kind of chlorine is in the pool water, combined with the sun exposure that does the trick. I use TSP in my washer as a rinsing agent. I read somewhere that the phosphates that were removed from laundry detergents years ago were the rinsing agent that kept detergent residue from building up in the fabric. I have also used a cup of laundry powder, a cup of dishwasher detergent, a cup of bleach to rescue items that were beyond hope and destined for the rag basket. Interesting post!

Aspirin to whiten clothes doesn’t appear true. There’s an article called ‘Laundry Hacks That Don’t Work’ published in The Spruce on Aug. 2022 disproves this myth and offers a valid explanation. Here’s an excerpt from the article. ‘There is no sound science to this rumored hack. Perhaps it got its start on the internet because aspirin was patented by Bayer-a German textile dye company-in 1899. The chemical compound of aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid which will break down when exposed to moisture to become salicylic acid. Salicylic acid has no bleaching effect on fabrics.’ ‘Pre-soaking clothes in hot water is actually what may make them appear whiter. The hot water helps to lift embedded grime and body soil from the fibers that makes whites appear dingy. Once they are loosened, they are much easier to wash away in a normal laundry cycle.’ Furthermore, OxiClean and Bleach used properly, doesn’t cause wear on approved fabrics.

It's very frustrating. Ha! Thanks for your tips however. I'll have to give them a try as soon as i find a way to access hot water.

Hot water actually sets in almost any stain. It’s a very common misconception to use hot water with bleach to whiten clothing, you have to use cold water. Try it and see what happens, you’ll be surprised. The exception is any oil based stain, use warm water to scrub off excess, soak in lukewarm water and very light bleach then wash in cool water with low or bleach free stain remover. Again, try it and see.

I used to just soak the whites in the washer with lots of cold water, for most things(because hot sets in stains) detergent and Clorox bleach. Can’t do that now with the front loaders. You cannot leave Clorox in a small amount of water or it will eat up the fabric. Have discovered Clorox 11, squirting it directly on to stains for however long it takes. Then soaking, then rinsing 2 times. My soak and rinse cycles use more water, so that’s what I use except for delicates. When this very expensive washer breaks down, I hope I can still get an old fashioned agitator which depends upon water (which I will gladly pay for) to clean my clothes. The first time it broke down it took 3 weeks to get the 2 computer boards that run the machine along with $750. And it would have taken several months to get a different machine. And by the way, it takes 30 minutes to spin. How does that save energy? The energy saved is using almost no water. What government agency thought this up? Don’t tell me . I know.

Then it fills with the clothes sitting on the top of the detergent , leaving fade spots on dark fabrics. So, people have told me to put the detergent in, close, and let it fill for about 2 minutes, then open and stir around with a long spoon or spatula , then put clothes in and close. Soon the lid will lock. Keep your current Speed Queen and ask yourself how does locking the lid save energy. That’s what all these regulations are suppose to be about.@@Loveofdecorating

I've recently discovered a new solution that works great to remove underarm stains and collar dirt - Spray n Wash stick. I know this is a product that has been around for a while but I've never had the thought to use it. This works miracles. My new white jerseys stay white with NO smell under the arms. How I use it - well, as the product says, apply (I apply to the dry clothing) up today 2 days before you wash. I apply liberally on all stains, dirt marks and put my clothing to soak. When I go to wash my clothes, the areas that had the Spray n Wash applied wash SO easily and leave no smell. It's fantastic. Saves time having to wash and wash. Mind you, I have only used it so far for handwashing my whites, but I would think it also works well in the machine.

I first add water to the sink, 1/2 cup Oxyclean, and about 1/3 cup of bleach. Then add your white clothes and submerge them in the water. Soak for an hour or more. I know the companies would not advice combining bleach with the Oxyclean (the combination foams) but it does wonders!

You should never mix bleach with ANYTHING. Chlorine gases created by this mixture can cause DEATH BY CHEMICAL PNEUMONIA. You were just lucky!

I have a question, my washing machine is old, so it doesn't have all of the options that I see on the newer models. About the pre soak, can't you just set the machine for soaking, and when it gets filled with water, just turn the machine off, and leave it soaking for as long as you want? That's what I do with my older model, then when you are ready, just turn it back on and set it to wash the clothes...

I don't want a new machine. I worked as a maid and my clients had the new machines. They went through 3 of them in the 10 years I worked there. I had one newer model. The only reason I replaced my other one was because I had a chance to get a w/d set for 200 bucks that was barely used. The lady was moving in with her daughter. I am just not interested in the newer stuff. Cleaner is better, not necessarily newer.

I agree. I was a housekeeper as well and hated having to wait two hours for just one load on those newer machines at my customers' houses, when I had my older one at home, which I put a load in for 15 minutes and would come out even better cleaned that those new machines without the long wait..
