    How do I get my white clothes white again??

    I live where there is crappy water and I love white clothes. Can anyone recommend anything to keep whites white and/or return whites to white? I tried nappy san and even put vinegar in the wash...

    Hang them on the line in the full sun. That may help. It helps with our white nappies.

    bluo its comes in a small blue bottle yes it turns the water blue so dont freak but read the intructions to the tee, it worked for everything but a few bras that stayed greyish everything else was nice and white and you can use it on colored loads as well to help brighten them HTH!!!!

    yep I would add half a cup of bi-carb to your wash, and halve your regular washing powder - then add half a cup of white vinegar to the final rinse and then dry in the sun

    This is interesting as I read an old wives tale that said wash your whites with an item of clothing that is blue!
