Some of my white tee's are turning a dingy grey color. Some of them are very delicate, is there anything besides bleach I can use to whiten them?
Thanks Laundry Queens!

Have you tried Oxi-Clean??

borax whitens I used it on some of my sons white shirts.

I tried Oxi Clean and it did not work, I even soaked for two days! I'll try the Borax

what about just using a little bit of bleach - not the full amount? diluted it shouldnt be to bad.

A trick that's always worked for me with dingy whites is to add a capful of Calgon water softener to the wash ;) HTH

What about blueing (sp?) I have a bottle of Mrs. Stewart's and use it whenever something starts too look really dingy.

I should try the Calgon. My white nursing pants are a little dingy. (not to mention have just a little bit of road crud splashed on them near the bottom.)
