Laundry 101: White Clothes
Having trouble keeping your whites white?
#1~ Fill the washer with HOT!! water.
#2~ Add laundry detergent and bleach
#3~ Add white clothes to washer, making sure to pre-treat any visible stains.
#4~ Let the clothes agitate for for 2 minutes and then shut off the washing machine. After this step I also unplug my washer.
#5~ Allow clothes to soak for two hours or overnight.
#6~ Turn on washer an allow clothes to run the rest of the cycle.
This is how I wash my white clothes. If I am washing multiple loads of clothes I was the white clothes last. On some days I complete steps #1 – #5 before going to bed and start the washer first thing in the morning.

Hi, I love this. We actually about same entry, mine just after the laundry and the process.
And I was brought into your pre-treat post before commenting in here. My husband also likes to bring his work shirt suit to laundry cleaners and I don’t like the idea because I like to wash it myself aside from the cost is expensive. 
Thanks for sharing this. Here’s My Works-For-Me-Wednesday — Laundry Tip by the way. Have a great Wednesday! ~hugs&kisses~

That sounds good but being on a septic system we use bleach very sparingly. I also have a front loading washer so this is not as easy to do.
