    not sure if this is the right forum or not but has anyone got any suggestions for how to get whites whites again?

    i have used bleach but it made the clothes kinda off white - perhaps I used it wrong? Any products out there that ye have tried and found good? I tried vanish and it is not great to for regular whites..

    thanks

    Soak over night in soda crystals and then wash is the best washing technique but the best way to get whites white is to let the sun bleach them. :)

    You may get better answers here I reckon.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    No, baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, I mean sodium carbonate. You find the soda crystals next to house hold cleaners...the one I get looks like this:

    Did you try the vanish crystal white powder??

    My bro uses it for his chef whites and it works a treat.
