How to Whiten UnderArmour?

[DawnCt1]

The tag says do not bleach. Is there a way to whiten "underarmor" shirts?

I've used OxiClean powder to whiten items. I used it on a wall hanging that also had colored sections. I wanted to remove the yellowing from the white sections. Worked very well. I just soaked it in the tub.

She beat me to it! I second the vote for oxiclean

You could try the oxiclean. You also can not use softener or anything on these shirts.

Sadly my son as a dozen of them, and although I love them, they are not a treat to wash.

Thanks, I am out of oxy but I have some detergent with oxy in it. I will try that.

My son's UnderArmour and his uniform shorts are white - I've used Amaze with good success. I figure if it can whiten cloth diapers, it's got to be able to whiten uniform shorts!

Tell me about it. DH came home with some and I just rolled my eyes because I had read about the no softener here on the DIS. Annoying to remember to not add, or to figure out what else I want to wash with it that I won't mind no softener on.

Luckily, he bought a skin colored version and not white though.

I had the same thing this last fall with my DS. I talked to another mom, who happens to own a dry cleaners. She suggested Fels Naptha. It looks like a bar of soap, but it works!

So, once you wash it again, is the softener out of it?

Beats me. He just bought them and I've only had to wash them once so far. Luckily I remembered when I did the laundry because I'm not a tag reader.
