I have some nice white pillow cases that are turning rather yellow within just a few uses. Normal washing doesn't appear to make a lot of difference (as does soaking in a bleach solution which also takes ages!!) - any suggestions?
Get protectors for the pillows so they don't yellow as well and then don't lie your head on the white pillow cases, have two and one is darker... Its like using a white jersey for mtbing. It was bound to get discoloured very quickly. I guess you could sleep with your head on a carrier bag, don't imagine it would be very comfy.
Put them in a pair of shoes and put them in the wash? Stands to reason...
I ain't no domestic goddess but Ecover laundry bleach (it's granules, just bung it in the wash with the detergent) is pretty good at stopping whites from going grey
Wow, so extra pillows (one for best and one for use) is the way ahead?
You using a decent biological detergent?
Eg Ecover doesn't seem to remove anything like as much dirt as Persil....
Get a bar of Vanish. Wet the pillow cases and rub the bar into the stained area. Then wash as normal. If they are cotton or linen then bump up the temperature of the wash too.
I know modern washing power (like paint etc) is no where near as good as the stuff we used in the old days!
Yes, I'll try the Vanish idea, thanks.

I'm not a domestic genius, but i'm pretty sure that using paint as washing powder isn't going to work....... (unless it's white paint?? 😉
You need to wash yer hair more often and stop dribbling.
