Get my poisoned sheets back to white again? I can't seem to get them to stay white - I wash them on a weekly basis!

Are you washing them with colours that run in the wash? Prehaps wash them on their own. Soaking in bleach will bring the white back.If winter comes, can spring be far behind?

I use net whitener if any of my whites need a bit of a boostBlessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

Wash with only other 'white' washing on a hot wash if they are cotton and hang them out on a sunny day. Works for me my whites stay sparkling...#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

if they'll tolerate bleach, slosh a load in the bath (plug in obviously!) and top up with water from the hot tap until the sheets are covered and leave overnight. Then just bung them in the washing machine on a normal cycle (on their own) to get rid of the bleach. I do this frequently with towels and it works great.0

Thanks - will try the bleach idea (or netwhitener if I can find it), I also have a duvet cover that is mostly white (a few coloured ribbons as trim) so that won't work on that, guess that'll have to go.Never let your sucesses go to your head and never let your failures go to your heart.:beer:0

I'm glad someone else asked that

Must you have white sheets? Life might be simpler if you just dyed them to match the ribbons on your duvet cover!But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.
