How to Whiten Clothes That Turn Yellow or Gray

  • Oxygen-based Bleach: This is a gentler alternative to chlorine bleach and is safe for most fabrics (always check the care label). Follow the instructions on the product packaging for the recommended amount and water temperature.

  • Hydrogen Peroxide: Hydrogen peroxide can also be a bleaching agent. Add 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide to your washing machine along with your detergent and wash on a hot water cycle (check care instructions). Never mix hydrogen peroxide with chlorine bleach or other cleaning products.

General Tips:

  • Pre-treat stains: For any noticeable stains, pre-treat them with a stain remover before washing.
  • Sort clothes by color: Always wash whites separately from colors to prevent color bleeding.
  • Read care labels: Follow the care instructions on your clothes for washing temperature and drying methods.
  • Wash in hot water (when safe): Hot water can be more effective for removing stains and brightening whites (check care instructions).
  • Dry clothes completely: Leaving clothes damp can promote mildew growth, which can cause yellowing.

By following these tips and choosing the method most suitable for your situation, you can effectively whiten your clothes and restore their brightness.
