    This worked fantastically! I have a summer white cotton dress, bought it two years ago wore it twice, and the sweat yellowed under arms , didn't know how to bring it back to white, until now after using this method, I am grateful you shared it. I used blue dawn liquid dish soap though. I only rinsed it with a lot water, didn't need to wash it.

    Automatic dishwashing detergents contain sodium hypochlorite (Bleach), even if they're powdered. If anyone is thinking of skipping the liquid bleach to use this on colors you'll still have bleach in the mix from the dishwashing detergents and will probably cause colors to run.

    I did this with our white quilt comforter, I had bleached it a couple of times but there were set in stains from the oil of our dogs fur as well as doggie paw prints. The stains were gone and our quilt was as bright white as the day we bought it, unbelievable! It really is a miracle!

    Hi Jill!!! Thank you so much for this AMAZING solution!!! I had three extra large white towels that had been used as a recliner cover ... for a long time.... they were so dirty...the recliner stayed clean but the towels were almost gray in color from dirt, food crumbs and I even think some of the dye from dark blue jeans had rubbed off onto the towels...
    I put the towels in the washer on pre soak cycle...after 2 hours the water was filthy so...I let the tub empty and rinse one cycle in hot water...
    I then refilled the tub with hot water and your miracle laundry cleaner mixture again....and let it soak again because 2 hours was still not longer enough....the towels were better but still dirty.....
    Then... I let it soak in hot water until noon ...so overall... I let the towels soak for a total of 11 hours ....I let them soak in my washer....I would put in a little bit a hot water every 1 to 2 hours and let it agitate for about 5 minutes and then let it sit....
    The towels were so beautifully white!!! I was so suprised and pleased!!! ....
    PS... I just remembered...I did not use 1 cup of powdered detergent...I replaced that with 1 capful of Melapower 6x scentt-free laundry detergent...it is the detergent I currently use....

    I just did this last night on a small sample set of socks, some dish towels and athletic wear. IT IS AMAZING!!! I wish I could post a picture of my before and afters. Right now, I'm soaking a bigger load of all the rest of my whites and I'm so excited. I have a front loader though, with no way to use my washer in any kind of "soak mode" overnight, but a large rubber tub did the trick. I then transferred the saturated items into my washer and started a normal cycle for whites. Thank you for sharing! 🥰

    If you get another sheet set, or mattress pad cover. Then wash and rotate thru. Wash on weekends. It makes them last longer, you always have fresh sheets on the bed, and they dont get as dingy. Bc your washing them and rotating them out. I found that out with white sheets. They arent dingy any more.

    Chlorine-based bleaches can not working with any kinds of detergent.
    It must sperate to 2 step.
    A 2008 study indicated that sodium hypochlorite and organic chemicals (e.g., surfactants, fragrances) contained in several household cleaning products can react to generate chlorinated volatile organic compounds (VOCs).[15] These chlorinated compounds are emitted during cleaning applications, some of which are toxic and probable human carcinogens. The study showed that indoor air concentrations significantly increase (8-52 times for chloroform and 1-1170 times for carbon tetrachloride, respectively, above baseline quantities in the household) during the use of bleach containing products. The increase in chlorinated volatile organic compound concentrations was the lowest for plain bleach and the highest for the products in the form of "thick liquid and gel." The significant increases observed in indoor air concentrations of several chlorinated VOCs (especially carbon tetrachloride and chloroform) indicate that the bleach use may be a source that could be important in terms of inhalation exposure to these compounds. The authors suggested that using these cleaning products may significantly increase the cancer risk.[15]

      I have a whirlpool front loader washing machine. you can soak in it, follow the directions in your manual or look it up on youtube.Put your powder in the washer, pick small load, hot/warm water then Turn on the washer, you will hear the water come on and start filling the tub. when the water stops filling pause it. make sure powder is mixed well before you add your article of clothing. let soak as long as you need, stir it around. keep checking it. you might need to do 2 or 3 applications of the color remover it depends on how heavy your fabric is and how dark the dye is. finally run the item thru a normal wash cycle with detergent.

      Put a bucket in the bathtub. Pour hot water in from a tea pot (may need 3 or more). Add the mixtures and stir with a painter’s new wood stick. Let sit over night or a few hours. Open front load door and put the garments in first then some of the liquid. Close the door and wash in hot water.

    For those with a front loader washing machine.
    I placed the pillowcases in a clean plastic tub.
    Just about covered them with boiling water from the kettle.
    I used all of her ingredients (except borax which we can't get in Europe)
    I added white vinegar to the mix and with rubber gloves mixed and mixed for a good 10 minutes.
    I then left to soak for the rest of the day and night, then the next day I washed it on an extremely hot wash. My dingy pillowcases looked like new afterwards.

    Has anyone tried this method by using oxyclean in place of bleach? Im not good at doing laundry and need a lot of help! I have a bunch of whites that have been in my hamper for a while and Im afraid to wash them with bleach because some of the clothes are not all white (they have words and designs etc). Some of the clothes are not even a month old and are already dingy! I am desperate to get them white again and am excited to try this method! I already went out and bought all the ingredients but am wondering if I would get the same or good enough results if I use oxy clean or even color safe bleach such as tide bleach?

    This is also a pet peeve of mine, but please do not use the word "guarantee". What works for you and others may not work for everybody. I will try this, but I've tried many formulas with these same combinations of ingredients, they work very little, or nothing noticeable, lets be clear I'm talking about the most greyed, dingy old whites, not those that are slightly grey, so I'm not hopeful this will work.
    Isn't there a white dye that you can simply dye your greyed whites to a bright new white, won't this solve the problem?

      Very true when talking about combining ammonia and bleach, but borax and bleach are both alkaline compounds (so the don’t usually react with one another unless another ingredient is added) which are used in different ratios in pools. In my opinion, the borax is a bit excessive😂

      Arisellia yeah I don't think her recipe would work if you used oxiclean instead of chlorox bleach. actually im not convinced it would work w either type of bleach. I recommend a potion of dish soap (blue Dawn is prlly the most popular), hydrogen peroxide, and baking soda. let it soak overnight in a sink, bucket, or a tub. then wash w regular detergent as normal. if it doesn't work, I'd try soaking it in oxiclean BUT you gotta make sure you use the right amt and wash it out super thoroughly. oxiclean doesn't rinse out very easily (white vinegar in the cold rinse cycle can help). if you don't get it out, it will make everything dingy grey and it will attract all sorts of dirt and oil and stuff. good luck!
