I live in a very hot & humid climate, brownish stains seem unavoidable. Help!

in a solution of bleach and water, leave your sheets soaking for about 1 - 2 hours, then wash normally. If you leave them too long, they will wear out much faster.

Are we talking about mildew? Just soak them in your washer using a cup per load for a 20 to 30 minutes before washing. Premix the water and bleach before putting in the sheets. This should do it. You can adjust the soak times by experimenting.

Consider buying a different color than white. Go with a neutral tone with a pattern. They will hide the stains better. Just don't go over board with the bleach, as it will eat the sheets. Try SPRAY-N-WASH on the stains...the foaming kind works best. Also the 'roll on' SPRAY-N-WASH tube...rub it on...wash later, lol.

All I can say is that I bleached some knickers which were once white & had turned an unnatractive shade of grey. I went away for the weekend & forgot they were still soaking. When I got them out they were about 2 times bigger! Weird ey? So, anyway. Don't do that unless you want bigger sheets!

You should check to see if the stains are gone. Then put them in awhile longer. I hope it is not all bleach. I hope it is like less than 1/4 bleach

if you leave them in there for longer than a day your just cutting down there life expectancy they will just wear out faster and possible tear and get holes in the near future as you continue to wash them.

Not long, use a brightening agent like Blueo or napisan when you wash them
