I live on a farm and my water tends to turn my clothing a greyish hue.
I've tried all sorts of things to stop it. Bleach with my whites turns it orange.
For the whites I discovered a product called "ironout". It keeps them pretty white without the orange tinge...but still a little greyish
I cant afford water filtration system - someday i will get one but right now that's not in the cards.
My mom suggested on the weekend that i try adding 1/4 cup of citric acid to my clothes - shes been using it with hers both white and colours and it has made a huge difference.
So i tried it...OMG i took a pair of light pastel pink pjs out of the wash last night and they were Actually PINK not pink-grey but PINK.
My sister stopped in to visit me just in time to hear me squeal something like omg they're really pink they're really really pink.
Do you have any products or additions you add to your laundry to help with colour loss or stains?

hi saundryl when I was still in an apartment I used tide most of the time and Oxiclean and I got stainless clean clothes, the whites
nice and white , the colors vivid and clean. It does depend on the
water as if its hard with lots of mineral deposits you have the greying problem.our city water was not that bad. here the housekeeping staff does my laundry for me. lol llol
