Keeping Your White Clothes Bright & White - Continued

With hard water the need to add several scoops may be essential.  You can also place your laundry on a warm water soak cycle, which will allow the oxi-clean to work.  If your washing machine does not have a soak cycle you can start the wash cycle and when the washer is filled up shut it off and the water will set until you restart the machine again.  The use of regular laundry detergent and softener is also necessary when using oxi-clean.  If you have a splash sink than soaking your whites prior to washing can me helpful.

The many ways listed here can all be helpful in making your white clothes and towels as white and bright as the day you purchased them.  Try each and see, which you feel, works best for you.  Some will be more helpful than others but the only way to decide is to experiment with each and see which you like the best.  When adding the bleaching detergent be careful on the amount you add.  The expense of replacing shirts, socks, underwear, towels and dishtowels may end up being costly.

Adding a water softener can become very costly although it’ll leave your water a lot softer and save on the expense of adding extra detergent, shampoo, conditioner, dish detergent and any other detergent that you are using. 

Always soak your whites for several minutes up to several hours with pre-soakers, laundry detergent along with oxi-clean.   Never wash any types of colored clothing with your white clothes, which may turn gray or dull looking.
