Answer 1

If they are really dirty, I would soak 1-2 hours in a mixture of laundry soap and oxyclean.  Then after soaking, DRAIN the water and refill with clean water, new laundry soap and bleach.  Wash as usual

Answer 2

What are you soaking them in?  And how dirty are they?

And funny about the suggested category.  What is Yahoo thinking?

Answer 3

I usually put my whites in the washer with Tide and OxyClean and let them agitate and then soak for an hour or two - sometimes letting them agitate some more.  If there are really dirty clothes in the load, I soak them longer.  Then I let the load go through the entire wash cycle.

Answer 4

If there are stains, I spray Shout on them, and I have a bottle of half bleach and half water...I spray that as well...and let them soak overnight. So far....it works well and I get most stains out....If no stains, I just wash them, and I always use cold water.*
