mint Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 to keep your whites white?I need some suggestions and your suggestion would be doubly valuable if you lived in a hard water area.I don't miss anything about Wales except the lovely soft Welsh water. All the linen soft and clean with the coloureds unfaded and the whites sparkling.If I am unable to keep clothes and towels white, I shall have to do some shopping of new stuff. Shopping's fine but I'd feel guilty if I don't first make an effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 We intend to try this on the pillow cases/protectors, and less white stuff soon. Put a dishwasher tablet in with your usual powder for a white only wash.I read it as a recommendation, but have not yet tried it!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted May 21, 2021 Author Share Posted May 21, 2021 Thanks Lehaut. Will try it tomorrow if the rain has stopped by then! Will let you know. I have a load of grubby white things, notably OH's pillow cases, to wash and hells bells if it works I shall be very happy[:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherbanana Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Surely, dont have white stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted May 26, 2021 Author Share Posted May 26, 2021 Hi, Lehaut, first day without rain so did my whites today, using your suggestion. Worked a treat, some marks and stains are gone. Some more stubborn marks remain but fainter and, of course, this is only the first wash with the dishwasher tablet.I reckon that, after a couple of washes, the stains should be gone and yes, everything definitely looks cleaner and whiter.Thank you for the tip![:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lehaut Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Great, now we know it works will give it a try too. Glad to have helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotherbanana Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 A long time ago lesson for me is not to have whites or not to worry about their whiteness! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
