The most important step in washing white clothes is to separate them from colored clothes. Fill the washer with the appropriate amount of water; add detergent, and color safe bleach. Place the clothes in and wash.

To help my white sheets stay white and smelling nice I add 1/2 cup of lemon juice to the rinse water then hang them out to dry.
You can also use Borax instead of the more common washing powders. It can be found at the grocery store in the laundry aisle.
Don’t soak white socks in chlorine bleach before washing, the bleach will destroy the elastic and you will be left with stretched out socks.
Use a pre-wash spray on spots but always check after washing to make sure the stain is gone as drying will set it making it impossible to remove.
You can also try baking soda and vinegar for really white whites.
For clothes or socks that are totally white with no color you might try “Iron Out.” It is a product that is sold for people who have hard water and can usually be found at the grocery or home improvement store.
You can also use white vinegar in the rinse cycle to take out dullness. The vinegar smell should go away as the clothes dry but if not just rinse again after the first vinegar rinse.
Believe it or not an infomercial product really works. For great looking whites use ‘Oxi-Clean.’ Follow the directions on the package. I don’t use it on a regular basis but once in awhile when my favorite shirt looks dull I will use this product.
