I only usually bleach occassionally for towels (especially if my 18 year old son keeps them piled up wet or damp in his room for weeks). It not only damages the fabrics it can also turn whites to yellow after time.

yes, thats true. our laundry woman did that one time and instead of making our whites white, it turned yellowish.

i would not bleach my clothes also, nbecause it spoils thematerial of the clothing, worse bleach is not environmentally friendly and can harm our skin when we come into too much contact with it

I never bleach my white clothes...if I want to make them whiter; just soak my clothes in water with very light peroxide solution overnight...

No,not all. Bleaching damages the fabric and grace of cloths. For whitening I use whitening agent(powder).It gave satisfactory whiteness without damaging my cloths.

No, I hardly ever use bleach for our clothes. I've ruined more things with bleach then it is worth for me to use it.

No we do not bleach our clothes. Mostly we put them in washing machine. At times i might hand wash coloured or printed clothes.
