How to get my whites white?

Question

in my neighborhood, every time they flush the fire hydrants my water turns brown, well i was doing laundry and didnt realize it was happening and now all my whites are brown and looks like it has rust or something, does anyone know what can make them white again or are they ruined??

Answer 1

Good old Clorox bleach and a good detergent.  If that doesn't work, try Rit rust remover or brightener.

When I wash my whites I use a scoop each of Tide, Biz, and OxyClean - this might be excessive, but my whites are really white.  Put your clothes in the washer with these cleaners and let the washer agitate, then let the clothes soak, repeating this process for several hours.  I've gotten lots of stains out this way.  Good luck.

Answer 4

They're probably not ruined. You can get something called rust remover in the laundry aisle. Use that when you launder the discolored things and they'll be okay. If you still want them even whiter, you can pre-soak them in a bleach solution and then launder them with something called "bluing" added. It's sold in the laundry aisle, too. Good luck!! : /

Answer 5

Don't worry put back in the washer, fill with cold water  put 2 full cups of ammonia ( I do this all the time I wash my kids clothes) leave it overnight  next day run the washer and put extra rinse cycle or downy . That set all done!!

Even if it's not only white it will be clean without fadding the colors
