I am a 23 year old male so I have no idea how to get my chefs coat as white as my ex-girlfriend could. What secrets does she know that she's not telling me?

I'll never understand why they insist on white. I had white aprons when I waited tables that got so gross.
A 20 minute soak in hot water with about 1/2 to 1 cup of bleach, (You can throw them in the bathtub or kitchen sink for this) followed by a wash in hot water will usually do the trick. I always put bleach in the washing machine, too, just to be extra sure.

When I want to get something super white, I soak it for a while with OxyBrite or other oxygen bleach. Bluing, which someone else mentioned, does work but just juse a tiny amount in your rinse water.
If you live in an area where there is iron in the water, you probably notice that all your whites turn a bit yellow. If that's the case, you need to use a water softener. try calgon in the wash and rinse water.

permit the washer device top off first, and as its close to finished whilst its filling upload one cup of bleach, use a measuring cup. warm water and no different detergents of any type. Then placed the coat interior the washer device, and wash in many cases. wish this helps! whats up, what approximately using Oxyclean? i've got seen it at popular shops. yet do no longer use bleach with it, only the oxyclean and universal detergent. If that would not artwork, i might pass with the bleach.

Pre-soak in dishwasher detergent. Cleans the dishes, right? I've done it for years.
