How do you keep your white clothes clean?

Question

i wash my whites in hot water and use clorox, but they still seem to come out dingy. HELP!!!

Answer 1

If the clothes are completely white, no other colours you can use "blueing". You can find it in the detergent aisle at your local grocery store. It will help take the yellow/dinginess out.

This is a product that has been used for decades, it's not something new.

Answer 2

follow what the tag says to do for washing. I put in 2-3 8 oz cups of Clorox bleach (the real stuff not the store brand) along with the soap and I do that once a month. My come out looking great.

Answer 3

In my opinion . I don't use liquid Clorox because your clothes do come out dingy. Try using Tide with bleach. My mother got me hook on that detergent. It really works. Just make sure when you wash your whites , wash them with warm water then rinse in cold water. This detergent you can also wash your colors with . Its bleach safe.

Answer 4

You can try a few of these idea's.
If your washing machine has 3 compartment's then try this one first. Compartment 1: ammonia. When the soak cycle is over and the wash begin's then bleach and of course last fabric softener because bleach makes your clothing hard.

#2 First lestoil
bleach
softener

#3 lemon juice
vinegar
softener

I hope one of these works for you sorry so long.

Answer 5

soak over night in cold water. Get up let them soak in fresh cold water and add some ice if you can. Wait an hour or so. Then ring, and then wash in the hottest setting with bleach, and Tide.

You will be surprised.

Or if you only have a few items, after cold soaking, boil in hot water. Should be white, white after that.

Answer 6

When you wash your clothes put a half cup bleach with a half cup water in ever WHITE load. Also cary a Tide To Go pen with you. I used it on a trip and I spilled red juice on it and it took the stain out rigt there.

Answer 7

I wash in cold water, but add omo laundry detergent and also some napisan oxyaction max, it doesn't remove every single stain, but it does a brilliant job and I never have white socks with black bottoms. Also always wash whites separately from coloureds... they stay much whiter that way.

Answer 8

Make sure it's all whites in there and use some real bleach. Don't do it too often or your clothes will eventually wear down faster.

Answer 9

don't put a lot of clothes in the washer at the same time. they need to be rinsed good. also there is something called "blueing" or something like that, a blue liquid that you put a couple drops in the washer that gets everything really white.

Answer 10

Yeah, I use bleach too. Maybe it has something to do with your water? Like if you have hard water or if the pipes in your place are old?
