A red piece of clothing accidentally got in with my whites in the washing machine. As a result all my whites turned pink. How do I get my whites back to their original color? Thoughts, please?

You can always use Dawn dish detergent for whiter, brighter clothes with a cup of bleach added to the waster before you add clothes.

Put 1 cup laundry detergent, 1 cup bleach, 1 cup dish detergent (does not foam up) in washer set on medium water level. Let it premix. Then turn washer on high water level. Add clothes. This really works on grass stains also.

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.

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.

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 try baking soda and vinegar for really white whites.

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.
