Keeping your white clothes white

Follow a few simple rules to keep white clothes white. And, if they happen to get a bit dull or yellowed, learn how to restore the brightness.

Here’s How:

  1. Sort clothing carefully. Wash white clothes separately to prevent color transfer.
  2. Do not overload the washer at Super Bubbles Laundromat we have 20lbs, 30lbs & 40lbs machines so this will not happen. Detergents loosen soil but there must be enough space and water for the soil to wash away rather than redeposit on clothing.
  3. Treat stains immediately. Follow stain removal guidelines for fabric types and type of stains. Do not automatically use chlorine bleach even on cotton fibers because overuse can cause yellowing. Anoxygen-based bleach (OxiClean, Javal Colour Safe Bleach, available at Super Bubbles Laundromat soap centre) is usually safer.
  4. Never dry a garment that still has a stain. It can become permanent.
  5. If clothing is dingy or gray, use a colour remover to brighten the fabric.

Tips:

  1. Make sure your washer is always clean. Super Bubbles coin laundry washers are cleaned daily.
  2. Try a colour boost for your whites; Super Bubbles Laundromat offers OxiClean in our Soap Centre.
  3. Launder white garments after every wearing even if they look clean. Body oils and perspiration can quickly turn a garment yellow. If you like to wear white and want to save money, be sure the garment is washable – Use Super Bubbles Laundromat it’s a safe choice and keeping your whites white.
