My Whites Come Out Grey and Yellow

RE: My Whites Come Out Grey and Yellow Post by maryc (25) | (07/01/2006) Profile | Contact First of all, don't overload your washer. Next, do not put dark items in with the whites. I ALWAYS soak my whites after a little agitation with detergent & dry bleach for at least 15 minutes. You'd be surprised how white your clothes will be. The men in my family wear their t-shirts for years because they are so white.

I read this tip years ago & have used it on bras, slips, etc...........It works!!

Look in the grocery store for a dye remover RE: My Whites Come Out Grey and Yellow Post By Anna from Maine (Guest Post) (06/29/2006) You could try using Borax along with your detergent, it is found with laundry detergents and is a detergent booster also removes body odor. If clothing has any polyester, bleach will yellow them. Borax is natural and has no scent.

I use a lot of white shirts and I need them clean and white.

Otherwise you can try using come good old fashioned white vinegar. Just put 1 cup of it in your rinse water.
