Part of the problem with dingy clothes is the new washing machines. They really don't get clothes very clean. UPDATE 7/18/22: But let me add one thing more. Consumer Reports just recommended Persil liquid detergent as the best on the market for getting clothes white. I live in an area where the water is super hard with minerals. So much so that my whites were all looking yellow and feeling stiff. I tried Persil and it really seems to work. My white clothes looked super white after one wash. I don't know what's in it, but Persil does seem to deal with hard water yellowing. One of the few times in my life when a product claim actually proved to be true.Thought I'd pass that along.

My mom used to swear by everything with Sears’ Kenmore brand on it. The brand meant excellence. Same with Craftsman tools that were sold by Sears. Then the MBAs took over Sears, had everything made in China, and ran the store chain into the ground. Some smart person should find a machine like yours, take it apart to see how it’s built, and start making them again.

It's very frustrating. Ha! Thanks for your tips however. I'll have to give them a try as soon as i find a way to access hot water.

Hot water actually sets in almost any stain. It’s a very common misconception to use hot water with bleach to whiten clothing, you have to use cold water. Try it and see what happens, you’ll be surprised. The exception is any oil based stain, use warm water to scrub off excess, soak in lukewarm water and very light bleach then wash in cool water with low or bleach free stain remover. Again, try it and see.

Aspirin to whiten clothes doesn’t appear true. There’s an article called ‘Laundry Hacks That Don’t Work’ published in The Spruce on Aug. 2022 disproves this myth and offers a valid explanation. Here’s an excerpt from the article. ‘There is no sound science to this rumored hack. Perhaps it got its start on the internet because aspirin was patented by Bayer-a German textile dye company-in 1899. The chemical compound of aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid which will break down when exposed to moisture to become salicylic acid. Salicylic acid has no bleaching effect on fabrics.’ ‘Pre-soaking clothes in hot water is actually what may make them appear whiter. The hot water helps to lift embedded grime and body soil from the fibers that makes whites appear dingy. Once they are loosened, they are much easier to wash away in a normal laundry cycle.’ Furthermore, OxiClean and Bleach used properly, doesn’t cause wear on approved fabrics.

I've recently discovered a new solution that works great to remove underarm stains and collar dirt - Spray n Wash stick. I know this is a product that has been around for a while but I've never had the thought to use it. This works miracles. My new white jerseys stay white with NO smell under the arms. How I use it - well, as the product says, apply (I apply to the dry clothing) up today 2 days before you wash. I apply liberally on all stains, dirt marks and put my clothing to soak. When I go to wash my clothes, the areas that had the Spray n Wash applied wash SO easily and leave no smell. It's fantastic. Saves time having to wash and wash. Mind you, I have only used it so far for handwashing my whites, but I would think it also works well in the machine.

I have 3 boys, and they all played football. I would cringe every time I would see their pants for football was white. I would work on their pants for hours. Till another mother told me to get Cascade powder dish washing soap, and soak my whites in hot water. I didn't have to scrub the dirt, and grass stains out of football uniforms ever again. It also work on stained colored clothes with out bleaching them.

To clean a satin doll bridal gown I soaked it in a sm tub; warm water w/oxy powder from Dollar Tree. There were mystery stains orange in color across the back. After 2 changes water and oxy and 7 days soaking, rinse, squeeze and dry on a towel. Looks like new.
@vaderladyl Жыл бұрын
Those orange stains are a type of mildew and it washes off nicely with Oxy, vinegar or baking soda and lemon too.
