How do you get your whites really white?

...without bleach? I have a bunch of reg. whites, but I also have white with colors on it as well. You can't use bleach on that, so I was wondering what you use?

I head vinegar and baking soda work well...

Re: How do you get your whites REALLY white?

I love love love OxiClean. I first started using it with just my whites, but now I put a scoop in every load of clothes I do. I think it works great!!

Re: How do you get your whites REALLY white?

Okay, I am so thrilled I finally fet to share this tip. Go to the dollar store, there is a product called "AWESOME". you will find it in the cleaning isle. Pour all of it into your washing detergent. You do not need bleach after that. Pour 1 cup of baking soda into the washing machine and the amount of detergent into the washing machine as desired (the detergent should already contain the awesome). Get ready to be wowed.

Re: How do you get your whites REALLY white?

I pour about a half cup of borax in each load. Not only does it brighten clothes but it gets rid of odors that detergent can't cover up.

Re: How do you get your whites REALLY white?

Ditto on the Oxiclean. I use a scoop in every load of laundry. Plus, it's cheap. My mom used to buy it for me at the dollar store all the time.
