Wash them again but add OxiClean along with your regular laundry detergent.

You might have have to treat them with OxiClean more than once.

Clorox can yellow clothes. OxiClean does not.

It took two washes with OxyClean & one, with Vanish White. Now everything is a sparkling white.

Answer 3

Iron-out removes rust and most any discolored white clothing back to white again. This stuff is remarkable however, it is for whites only!!

Answer 4

Wal-mart sells a product made by RIT in the laundry section. It is called white wash, works great.

Answer 5

This happened to me and no other cleaning product did a thing.

I found out by accident that leaving your clothes to hang in the sun shine will fade the yellow marks
