Naturally? You can try white vinegar or water, baking soda and lemon juice.
Reasons for grey whites
Washing them with colored clothing
Not using hot water
Not rinsing all the soap out
Sort your laundry. Wash only white things together. Make sure a dark sock doesn't sneak in with the whites. use the hottest water possible with good detergent and a scoop of oxiclean. If you don't live in an area where you have to conserve water use the highest water setting possible. If you have a front loader you might have to do a second rinse to get all the soap out. Your clothes will start getting whiter each time you wash them.
There are several methods to choose.

I wash in cold water most of the time and just use vinegar in the wash and rinse cup and a few heaping tablespoons of baking soda in each load. I buy baking soda in 15 pound bags at at warehouse store or restaurant supply for about $7 and lasts me 5 or 6 months. No chemicals required.
Use this in place of Clorox. Mix in with detergent, then allow clothes to soak at least an hour after washing. Then start wash cycle again, with same soapy water. I rinse twice also. Has strong chlorine odor, but whitens better than anything I've ever used. It is sold separate by the gallon, but I order at least 6 bottles at a time (1 case), due to shipping being $4,95 each shipment (no matter the amount ordered. https://heymedsupply.com/germicidal-bleach-pure-bright-liquid-1-gal-container-manual-pour-chlorine-scent-kik-bleach6-each-1/
