I separate the whites from any of the other clothes. I add bleach to the bottom of the washing machine as I am filling it with hot water by turning the dial to hot on the machine. While the machine is filling with the hot water, I add the detergent. After the machine starts to agitate and causes the detergent and bleach to mix, that is when I add the white clothes. Everything turns out nice and white.
It I just add whites to lighter clothes, I don't add the bleach and just wash the lighter clothes and the white clothes together using the detergent. It doesn't matter whether I use hot or warm or cold water, as long as I don't mix dark clothes with the whites and light clothes. I also do not like to add towels with any other clothes and do them alone.
Good Luck with your laundry job. Isn't it fun?

It's true, you get the whitest whites with hot water. (I use cold water anyway to conserve energy.) Sort your laundry so that you have only whites in the load. The clothes should fit loosely in the washing machine. Use a good quality detergent, such as Tide. If your water is "hard" add a quarter cup of baking soda. Use bleach sparingly because it can be harsh for many fabrics, and if you do use bleach, add it to the water and ensure it is well dispersed, before you add the clothes.

If you really want WHITE WHITES then try this, it really works. The next couple of times you wash your whites (only) use cold water and put the usual amount of your detergent in the washer. Next put 1/2 cup of Cascade dish washing detergent in the washer. This will make your whites really white after about two washings. Do not use on colors or delicate fabrics and do not use every time. Maybe once a month or 4-5 week intervals. In between times use Oxy Clean instead of Cascade. This will keep your whites whiter. The Cascade is abrasive and will wear clothing out. Try it it really works. Good Luck

Seriously, I've had people ask how I get my whites so white. Use more soap than recommended and alot of bleach. Make sure they rinse thorughly before doing any other laundry in the same machine. 'nuff said.

Seperate all the whites from the other clothes.
Then, when you have all the whites out, add a single red sock to the stack of whites.
Then put all of those clothes into your washing machine.............
The results should make you laugh - as it should be a nice shade of pink.

just wash them all together. Tide w/bleach powder is a good detergent for getting them clean and bright. I sound like a commercial.
