Here is something I discovered by accident. When washing items that require bleach let them go through the wash cycle as usual. When you come to the rinse, be sure to put your softener in the water after it is full and let it swish around a few times, about a minute. Then turn the machine off and let it sit in the mixture for a few hours. Then turn on the machine to continue the cycle and dry as you would normally. I found that there was no bleach smell on the clothes yet they smelled fresh.
I only use bleach in my bed linen and towels and can not stand the bleachy smell, what I have discovered that works for me is, only putting a very small amount of it in the was and putting One and half cups of baking soda, one third cup of borax in the wash. During the rinse cylce I will put in one cup of white vinegar.
