Best way to get your white socks white?

It seems like I too am continually buying new socks for my children. If it isn't that the socks that they already have are getting too dingy, it is that they are always losing socks. That said, I've heard that baking soda in the washer works wonders, but I've never tried that. I do, however, use OxyClean and it seems to do a pretty good job with maintaining the color of white socks and it doesn't damage colors either. It does cost a bit, but it is worth trying.

i WASH THEM WITH SOAP AND BLEACH!!!! hAVE AGOOD DAY!!

I have found that 1/2 cup Clorox II, 1/2 cup laundry detergent and 1/2 cup Cascade or other automatic dishwashing soap in the hottest water you can get will make white clothing sparkle. It also takes out stains in whites. Do NOT use this on colors! I used to stop the washer after a couple minutes agitation and let the clothes soak for about 5 minutes before restarting.

White? I mostly don't buy white socks. I think they're boring. :D

I feel like I am always buying socks for the kids too. The only way I know to get them white is with bleach also. That doesn't always work though. Especially when the kids are jumping on the trampoline. Their socks always turn black from that.

When i did diapers, years ago, i soaked in redu from amway. They sparkled. I would probably soak in oxy. Get soil out, then the redu. Besure to wash the redu out.

3snuggleBunnies he he the staff here does my washing for me, oh gorgeous day, but when i did my own I used clorox two with generous amount of oxiclean tossed in and white socks came out really white too.It did not seem to hurt the fabric at all either. good old Oxiclean. lol.

Hi, 3SnuggleBunnies. I think that you should try using some baking soda in your laundry. This gives the washing a boost. I used this with the bleach and it made my socks come out very white. I hope that it helps you in your laundry.

Many are afraid to use bleach in the washer. I usually start the water, then pour some bleach in a small container and hold it under the water and I make sure its really mixed well in the water to not damage the clothes. What I do with white socks or white t-shirts is wash them with blue jeans. Washing white with blue makes the clothes whiter!! Of course, make sure your jeans have been washed in bleach first or the color will run. I did the same with some white curtains that were a bit on the yellow side.....washed them with blue jeans and they came out really white!!

i am not really sure about the answer to that but i have asked around and all my friends either say cascade dishwasher detergent or stpp
