I'm trying to figure out why my daughter's white shirts always end up being permanently stained yellow?? She hasn't spilled anything yellow on herself in particular? I wash my whites in bleach, I try to pre-soak, pre-stain...nothing I do works. Is it something else? Do they purposely make toddler clothes this way so you have to buy more? None of my own clothing or my fiance's clothing is stained this way so I know it's not my washer? Any ideas?

I should clarify that I wash the whites with normal laundry detergent, but then add about 1/2 cup of bleach. And no, our own white shirts are not stained this way, even when they're in the exact same load.

Instead of using bleach try adding 1/2 c. baking soda to the wash load with your regular detergent.... If you have stains on your toddler's shirts just rub some laundry detergent on them and let them sit a bit.. Then toss in the wash... * I washed and dried one of my tot's white shirts with a chocolate stain and the laundry soap took it out even after it was dried.... I sometimes if really bad use shout/spray n wash...Let it sit for awhile... Good luck

Use RIT laundry treatment White-Wash* stain remover & whitener for non-bleachable whites. Trust me you will never use bleach again and you will have a trully white color always. But you can only use this product with white clothes only.

are any of your white shirts damaged? is it just the shirts? it might be the bleach or something in the water. you arent supposed to wash kids clothing in bleach its to strong for their sensitive skin.

Its the bleach!!!!!!
Try using something like Oxy instead. Too much bleach turns cotton yellow.

they are cheap material... it doesnt irritate the babys skin.
And they make baby clothes only to last for a short period of time as they know that babys are growing at a rapid rate, so the fibers arent nearly as strong as adult clothes.
