How to Whiten Your Whites

How To Whiten Your Whites

By Rinse Team In Care
Ever wonder how Rinse gets your whites so radiant? We’re happy to share our tips so you can try them at home or just leave your laundry to us for crisp, clean clothes of all colors. We hope the tips below will brighten your day as well as your whites!
1. Wash between wears
Even if you can’t see or smell it, body oils and perspiration can build up in your clothes and turn them yellow or grey over time. It’s best to wash your clothes every one to two wears, before soils can accumulate, and to wash your clothes in a timely manner. Your white workout shirt stands a better chance of staying bright if you wash it within a week.

2. Pretreat your stains

We recommend treating any stains before washing. Our favorite is OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover because when its oxygen-based formula is activated by water, it lifts and removes stains from fabrics of all colors.

3. Separate by color

White clothes and linens should always get their own wash cycle to prevent dyes from bleeding onto your whites and making them dingy.

4. Choose a whiter, brighter clean

At Rinse, we use OxiClean™ Liquid Detergent to bring back your bright whites and revive colors. This detergent is tough on stains but gentle on your clothes so they last for years to come.

5. Give your clothes room to move

It’s tempting to fill your washer to the brim but your clothes need room for your machine to work it’s magic. Detergent and water need to be able to circulate through your clothes to break soils down and wash them away.

6. Always follow your garment’s care label

The label will indicate the ideal water temperature needed for best results. If you’re ever stumped, see our easy guide here.

We’re always happy to share tricks of the trade to clean your clothes and help them last, but if you have things you’d rather do with your time than laundry, remember, we’re always here to care for your clothes!
