I'd love to have really white white's.....

how do you get them?

DD got a couple of lovely tops for her birthday & has done a good job of keeping them stain free so far, but I'd like them to be as white as they were when she got them. They seem to be a bit greyish

I've gone back to 'big box' Persil bio, and if items really grubby throw in some Ariel stain remover with whitener. Have noticed that things are much whiter. Also save up all my white cottons to do one load on 60deg cotton wash. Can't say if it's the Persil, the Ariel stuff or the increased temperature that's made the difference, suspect it may be a combination of all three

Soak them in Napisan before wash. Found in the nappy section at Waitrose as it's for real nappies. Works wonders on whites. Actually has exactly the same ingredients as the vanish crystal white stuff you can get but is much cheaper!

Thanks ladies, I've not been on for a couple of days & had forgotten about this until I clicked threads I started.

Will try the napisan first as it's the cheaper option. & saving up white cottons to do together on a higher temp. Will see if that does the trick
