The Great and Powerful Whitening Solution

Thanks to One Good Thing By Jillee I have been able to get my whites back to looking new and they smell fresher than ever! You can wash your whites over and over again and they will never look as good as they do after using this solution! Here's the directions:

HOT water - you want the water as hot as you can get it!
1 cup laundry detergent
1 cup powdered dishwasher detergent
1 cup bleach
1/2 cup borax

Add all ingredients in the smallest load possible while still keeping everything covered. You want the water to be very concentrated.

Then let it agitate for just a minute and then let it soak for several hours. After it has been soaking for several hours, let it finish the cycle and then have it rinse a second time. 


I have used this solution on my pillows and it worked VERY well. The hardest thing about washing pillows is preventing them from floating. Depending on the pillow, you may need to let it soak one direction and then take it out, flip it the other direction and let it soak again, just to make sure it all gets soaked in the solution. We have 4 pillows and two of them I had to be flipped. Make sure you rinse the pillows well to get the solution out. You won't need to do this with your pillows as often as your sheets and pillowcases.

Try it, you'll wonder how you ever done without it! Let me know how it worked for you!
