DDs wear white socks for school but the do PE twice a week barefoot gymnastics bare foot and dancing twice a week in the socks. The socks are filthy inside and out, Any tips on how to get them white?

Sterilising tablets work a dream

I've tried all kinds and nothing has so far worked. Laundry bleach, stain sprays, stain powders, fairy liquid and napisan have made no difference.

Thanks for the tips. I think its the dancing that really kills the socks

Boiling on the stove? Was this an old fashioned thng

I wash mine on 90 degrees, I chuck them in when doing a load of towels or sheets. I use Aldi powder and a dash of Napisan. Line dry.

I think that's more to sterilise and tends to leave everything a murky grey
