How to Wash White Sheets
What you’ll need: Oxi Booster Pods, White Vinegar, Laundry Detergent
Step 1. Fill Sink or Basin
It’s time to get started washing white sheets! No matter how clean you are, we all sweat in our sleep. After a prolonged amount of time, your sweat and body oils will begin to turn your white sheets dingy or yellow tinted. Not sure how to whiten yellow sheets? Fill a clean sink or basin with warm water. Add a stain fighting product, such as an Oxi Booster Pod or a cup of white vinegar, to create a stain fighting solution. Swish the solution until it is fully dissolved.
Step 2. Soak and Brighten
Soak the sheets in the stain fighting solution. Allow them to sit for up to an hour, agitating the sheets occasionally. The vinegar or Oxi Booster pod solution should work to lift the yellow dingy stains on your sheets and restore them to maximum brightness.
Step 3. Wash
Wash your sheets as normal according to the care instructions. We recommend using a Stain & Odor Laundry Detergent Pod, which contains enzymes for extra stain fighting. We also recommend adding an additional Oxi Booster Pod to the wash for extra cleaning power and brightening for the whitest sheets possible!
