Oxiclean for whites?

[cmrocks]

I have some white tshirts and dress shirts that are starting to get a bit discolored from repeated washing and wearing. I was just wondering if anyone has every tried oxiclean? I saw it in the grocery store and wondered about it.

Some of my dress shirts have warnings against bleach. I'd like to try something and hopefully get that bright white back.

Call Billy Mays. He will be able to help.

Yes, it works. You'll want to soak them overnight at least, maybe for 24 hours, then wash in regular cycle with detergent.

Depends on what is on your shirts but it does work (don't expect miracles like you see in the commercials). Have to soak it for a while. Try it on a shirt you don't care about first to get an idea what it can do. I've also heard that white vinegar in the laundry help because the dullness is basically from the water that is being used and the acids in the vinegar help to neutralize them. Google it.
