i just did this with dd's school shirts. the ratio was on the bottle - mine was 20mls bleach to 5 litres of water - but check it on the label!

yes, put them in the wash afterwards.

If the stain is really bad, try dabbing just the stain with some neat bleach on some cotton wool or white rag. Then wash. I dosometimes soak whites in bleach but it can make them feel a bit rough even after washing. Dabbing the stain and then washing straight away seems to work better.

I always just put hot water in the sink with some soap powder and a couple of squirts of bleach. Then put them in the wash afterwards as well, it always comes out
