How can I make my white clothes whiter?
I use a public laundry mat so I would like some hints that don't included having to soak my clothes. My whites just are starting to look a little dingy and I wear them often to work and need them to look white white. Any hints and tips would be great! I currently use Arm 'n' Hammer liquid detergent and bleach in the hotest setting. Thanks in advance for the advice!

There is a 'Bluing' agent that actually brightens your white clothes. Look for it in the detergent isle in the grocery store.

What about trying the old fashioned bluing? Comes in a small bottle and follow the directions. Your whites will be slightly blue while they are wet but they will turn white when they dry. My grandmother used to mix it and rinse her white poodles with it after their baths. Imagine light blue poodle dogs running around! But they whitened up as they dried. The country school my son went to used bluing on the white chickens they were showing at the fair...they used too much and got a prize for their most unusual blue chickens!

I soaked all my whites in oxiclean overnight and they all came out bright and the yellowing under the arms came out also!!!
1/2 cup oxiclean dissolved in warm to hot water, enough water to cover the clothes in a bucket.

maybe use baking soda, like they have at the grocery store, and some bleach is the best i can think of
