This is the most exciting post on here all week. I need to bleach some white towels

[hathorinareddress]

They are very grubby - clean but not white.

I want to get them white again and I've used all the main stain removers and hot washes and stuff.

So I think my only option is to bring out the big guns and bleach them

They're big bath sheets - I'm planning to bleach them in the bath.

How much bleach should I put in a bath full of water to bleach them overnight without making them fall apart?

I thank you all in advance.

I've never done it myself (I get round the problem by buying cream towels ).

But in a bath full, I would use a mug full. That should be enough to get it going. You might need more but I would try that to begin with.

Thanks - all future towels are going to be grey or stone or some neutral but not white colour

I used that Whitening stuff for nets on mine worked rather well to be fair. Very hot wash and both packets...

Maybe your towels were less grubby than mine

I use this every other wash to keep my white bedding and towels nice and white (live with a filthy farmer who leaves grubby marks on everything!), bung it in the the machine with non-bio powder (it says to use that rather than bio powder) and on a thorough 70 deg C wash and it works a treat.

Doesn't damage the fabric like loo bleach does either.

Buy some colour run remover in homebargains and soak overnight.

Then wash them in bio powder and washing soda in equal quantities, use a 60 wash, don't press the rapid wash button do the intensive option with an extra rinse.

Non bio has bleach in it to make up for no enzymes.
