Tell me what is your secret for getting dingy white shirts clean? This is terrible. These uniforms look 30 years old!

For my son it's his baseball pants and white t-shirts. A cup of baking soda or lemon juice brightens up the dingy and I use cascade with bleach for the dishwasher to get out the grime and grass stains in his ball pants. Happy washing.

Thank you. Should I presoak in hot water with the soda?

I don't, but if they are really bad you might want to. Especially if this is a uniform of some kind that the school has washed and dried a few dozen times.
