No matter how white and pure my underwear starts out, somehow it all seems to eventually end up a dull grey colour. Now, this is probably in some part down to me not being the sort of person that seperates my laundry - I just bung the lot in to be washed .
Now, the greying knickers and bra's may look a bit grim, but they still function - no holes or other tattiness, so I tend to keep them, and carry on wearing them. Every so often, once I have enough greying undies, I whiten them , using Dylon Lingerie Whitener , which costs a little under 2quid a box, and is available in most supermarkets . This box contains enough powder to whiten 5-8 items according to the instructions on the back.
Inside the box are two sealed sachets, a whitener and an activator.
To use this, put some hot water into a bucket, open the sachets, chuck in and mix. Then chuck in the greying undies, leave them to soak for half an hour, and poke them about a bit occasionally to make sure they are evenly soaked. . Then, after thirty minutes, give them a wash, and dry them! Pretty simple really - and the instructions on the pack are very easy to follow .
This stuff definately works - while I'd hesitate to say my underwear looked as good as new, it looked a lot better, and I certainly wouldn't be embarrassed if someone saw it hanging on my line. At less than £2 a pack, it costs less than a new pair of decent knickers, and its great for making your money go further during the credit crunch. It is designed for lingerie, so is very suitable for more intricate detail and some of the richer fabrics, the instructions let you know which kinds this isn't suitable for.
I'd definately recommend this to anyone who wants to revive some slightly tired but still serviceable underwear rather than buy new.
Advantages: washes greys white Disadvantages: none
...to try a pack of Dylon lingerie whitener. A pack of this costs £1.74 from Tesco. This pack contains enough for two treatments. There is also a pack available for 1 treatment. Dylon suggests this is enough to treat 5 to 8 items.
The one treatment box that I used contained 2 sachets one an activator, one a whitener.
One Saturday morning I decided to turn my grey's white.
I put some hot tap water in a plastic bucket (the pack suggests 60c is a good ... ...you use rubber gloves). I then submererged my grays in the water stirred them briefly. I then left then for ½ hour stirring occasionally. I took my hopefully whites out of the bucket rinsed and washed them.
When dry I inspected them yes they were white again maybe not a sparkling new white but certainly white.
I was happy with the end result and will not be embarrassed when I have to strip to my bra and panties at the DR's ...
