I use about 3/4 cup of Colorox bleach in a large load of white clothes in hot water. I guess I will have to just try out a lot of the different suggestions such as oxyclean and vinegar. Thanks!!!!

I wash all my whites in my regular laundry soap, then add a small scoop of oxi-clean powder to that. Then I have a whitest white setting which is really just an exrta rinse. So if you don't have that cycle, give them an extra rinse and that should help. All our whites look as good as when I bought them. My husband work is in construction, and those socks are dirty! Nothing has ever yellowed like they will eventually if you use bleach continuously. Give it a try! Best of luck!

like with any cleaning substance that is used i would use bleach but defintely NOT a lot as that can cause material to rip etc easier. Especially if that is all u do is use bleach every time u wash ur whites. oxyclean works wonderful and tends to be a little safer then just bleach.
I also agree with the washing in cold water.

Wash a load of only whites in HOT water and bleach. Read the label on the bleach container to see how much bleach to use. Do NOT include any colored items in the same load. You may need to repeat the process, if the clothes and towels are extremely dingy.

We had this problem with our laundry, and I started using Oxyclean when doing my laundry, and only washing in cold water (gets stains out better that way too). Worked fine for me.

Super wash, not regular and hot water then cold cycle! I just use tide! If clothes are extra dirty then I pretreat them with a stain fighter

Put Cascade and dry bleach in VERY hot water and soak. Does wonders!

Use bleach. Bleach chemically reacts with many substances to turn them white. Or, don't wear the clothes, or, be careful not to stain them if you do wear them.
