make clothes whiter

[squelchy451]

Hi.

I have this white shirt that's off white and i want to make it really white.

What is the easiest way to do that?

is it a new shsirt that was off white?
or an older shirt that is not as white as it should be.

soak in oxyclean should do the trick

there are some bluing agents that will brighten up as well.

^ Use 1 bottle per garment

Honestly though, a good detergant is what you need, maybe a tiiiiiny bit of bleach but I'd be super careful with bleach as it will eat at your fabric.

DO NOT USE BLEACH if you want your garments to be whiter. As a rule bleach actually causes yellowing and is very harsh on fabrics. If anything go for oxyclean or maybe even something like yellow out.

You did not give us much information. If it is an off-white shirt, you should leave it as it is. Bleaching will weaken the fabric. If it is a bright white shirt that became yellow, you can wash it with Ultramarine Washing Blue. You can order it here: http://www.manufactum.co.uk/Produkt/...iff=Ultramarin

I sometimes use it with my white shirts and it works great.
