Try laundry bluing,Im a nurse and have to wear white,it works great for me,belech will eventually turn whites yellow.
The natural yellowing that can happen to white clothes can be annoying. As a laundry additive bluing is a blue liquid that, when diluted with water according to directions, can help clothes become whiter.

Mrs Smiths bluing for extra whiteness. Sometimes whites will become dingy or even yellow after using bleach for a long time. A couple of drops of bluing in the wash water with your regular detergent will make them sparkle like new. And, because you will use so little a bottle will last you forever!

There is also White Bright detergent also you can buy to ensure they stay white. But like anything white with time and sweat they will go a bit yellow. Good luck.
Oxyclean also works great to keep things white longer. And not as abrasive as bleach.

I like Oxy Clean. You can even pre-wash / soak a load of shirts over night and then give em a real wash in the morning. They come out gorgeous.
Peace!

I use the warm wash, cold rinse cycle & I always add 2 scoops of Oxi-Clean to my whites. Bleach tends to eat away at the fabric over time. If I have really stubborn stains, I use the Oxi-Clean Spray & let it soak in prior to washing.

Use a high temperature wash. At least 60 degrees C and only wash with other white garments.

when you are about to do your laundry,.. separate your laundry into darks, mediums, and whites.
first do the whites, then do the medium colors, then do the darks last.
the reason is, is because depending on your washer and dryer, sometimes dye can come out of the darker wash load, and sometimes the dye doesn't drain out of the washer. if you get the whites done first, you can probably dodge that particular problem..
but that is only a solution for a dye problem. if that might be the case....?

well to keep your white shirt white, only wear it for few hours and wash it immediately you removed it from your body. Always wash is with white detergent. And keep away from ash sun. Never you sleep with your white shirt because your sweat can spoil your white shirt. I believe if you follow this you can have your white shirt for long perod of time thank for coperation.

Always wash white clothes with Bleach and only wash them with white clothes...Never mix color and white together when washing them...If you use a cup of Clorox Bleach with a load of white clothes, they will stay white...

It could be the detergent your using, or, the hardness of the water, (lime and other chemicals), are getting into the washer and mixing with the detergent and having a bad reaction.
I put a whole house filter on my lines, and I have no problem with white clothes at all...
I wish you well..

Use a good detergent, hot water, clorox and if you live in an area with hard water, use a good water softener like Calgon. Yellowing usually comes from the minerals in your water so the Calgon should really take care of that.
