How do I keep my bras gleaming white?

Question

All my bras except my black one turn greyish, yellowish, icky. Even my beige one is grayish. I wash them regularly of course. Sometimes I apply Shout before washing, but it requires much of the bottle to cover the surface area of just one bra. In changerooms I notice my bras aren't as nice as everyone else's.

Answer 1

Use OxyClean - the powder kind. Works like a charm, better than bleach. Just add to laundry load, better with warm/hot water. Get at Target. Great for organic stains.

Answer 2

Soak them in BIZ for a minimum of one hour (longer the first time, Maybe over night.) Then let wash go through the cycle and rinse a second time when done. All my whites stay just as white as the day I buy them. Also, I never ever use Hot water or Liquid bleach!!!

Answer 3

Soak in mixture of hot water and bleach for 30 mins before hand washing them. If you have the time, once a while boil them with a little detergent.

Answer 4

Hand wash. Once in awhile wash with bleach, but hang them to dry instead of using the dryer, and preferably in the sun.

Then of course, whenever you anticipate being in the changing room, make sure you have your nicest, whitest on. If you're noticing, then others are, too.

Answer 5

Bleach

Answer 6

Try Buying Glamorise or Goddess bras that are more expensive.

The cleaner I would use is Forever New. It costs, but the bras always look new.

Answer 7

Hand washing with Woolite. Or try some Bluing in the washer.

Answer 8

Put bleach in the wash once in a while. It won't really destroy the elastic, if you don't use it all the time.
(You do sort colors to prevent color exchange?)

Answer 9

Are you washing them with only your whites?
It is best to wash them and not with the color items.
I only wash them in cold water too, in the gentle
cycle.

Answer 10

Maybe you should buy bras more often and replace the old yecchy ragity ones.
