My white sheets are looking a little dingy...
How can I make them whiter? They have an embroidered border in blue so I can't use bleach. I have used color safe bleach and it does nothing.
Any tips? TIA!!

Try 30 Mule Borax. They sell it at the supermarkets and target. It's a natural whitening agent.

I would soak them in oxyclean and leave them for a day or so, then launder as usual.

I find soaking in oxyclean & water helps more than just putting oxyclean in the washer.

Mine are dingy too. I use the Oxyclean in the washer but it doesn't help.
Maybe I'll try the soaking.

Make sure you use warm water. My washer has a 30 minute soak option built in. I always use that.
We wear white uniforms & are always soaking them.
