How do I wash my white shirts without having them turn dingy?

Question

My friend told me her brother used coca-cola in his load of whites, and they were very bright afterwards, does this really work?

Answer 1

I'm not sure about coke, but you may want to try Borax. It's cheap & you can find it in the laundry aisle.

Answer 2

Unfortunately prolong bleaching will yellow whites. I try to never use it. Just be sure you do not paut anything with color in with your whites. To keep them really white, always double rinse them, Machines somtimes have a white cycle which will double rinse them, if yours does not, then after it's competed washing, just put the dial to rinse and spin for the second round. Your whites will stay very nice. As for your camis and shirts, are you drying them in the dryer? If not that may be why they get bigger. Just use low heat and let them dry, and that should keep them fitting properly.

Answer 3

I have never heard of that.. If you want your whites to get really clean, Use Hot water and bleach and your Detergent,and they will come out sparkling. If the white wash is really stained, soak in water and bleach overnight, and then add detergent the next day and wash,

Answer 4

I have no idea if soda products work. I just wash my whites in hot water and use two cups of clorox bleach per load instead of one cup.

Answer 5

Baking Soda brightens and deodorizes. If you use twice the Clorox as one respondent relpied you will eat your clothes away. And Clorox can yellow some fabrics.

Answer 6

Here is the product that I use most often. It is called "Bluing".
It works well when you follow the directions. Most stores carry a laundry bluing product.
