    This brings me back to the time i washed all my whites with a black trainer sock. :mad: I could have cried as i ended up buying new school shirts for all of my children. I tried most things to whiten them but it didnt work.

    However, i am a great user of Napisan. I use it to keep my whites nice and bright. I only use a tablespoon or so in the wash, but if i were you i would try soaking the whites in half a box overnight. You can always try a little bleach in the washing cycle if you dont fancy the Napisan idea - but i do warn you, it froths up!!

    You need to put them in a bleach and water mixture - usually i keep adding bleach until its reasonably strong and see the clothes going back to white (but don't leave in too long or they'll go yellow).
