Wash them in Hydrogen Peroxide and laundry soap
I agree! I wash all my whites with hydrogen peroxide. Bleach tends to make whites dingy and breaks down the fabric.
To add to Williams suggestion, if your weather allows you can hang the pillowcases in the sunlight which will help whiten them. Good luck!
Soak them in bleach.
I love this stuff - have used it for years including on my husband's military uniforms to keep them bright white! You add it to your regular laundry detergent - no bleach.
I have found soaking in OxyClean works well for me - I also use it on colors to remove stains.
You might try soaking in warm water with Zote. This is an old fashioned bar soap made for clothes. I grate mine up and make my own stain spray with it and add borax and laundry soda for laundry detergent for my whites. The little nubbin left when I've grated most of the bar is used for spot cleaning really set stains or things like ink.
have you tried an old fashioned "blueing" product? it worked quite well on my gotta be white uniforms.
I have found if I buy "cheap" dollar store bleach my whites turn dingy looking. If I get the Clorox or the good value brand from Walmar, my whites turn white again!
