How can I keep white wash cloths looking white? Bleach, blue whitening, etc. does nothing for the light brown color my washcloths turn after several washings. I upgraded the quality of washcloths, but after a few washings, still the same brown center on the washcloth. I don't have this problem with white bed linens so I don't think it is my detergent. I use oatmeal bath wash. Could that be the problem or what else could be the culprit??? Yes, I have hard water.

It's most likely iron from your water. My whites are all yellowish brown :(
You can try washing in hot water and soaking in oxyclean. The oxyclean seems to work better than bleach for me, but nothing works really well to keep whites white.
I like to use white vinegar. As for the culprit...it might be your bath products. Switch them out for a bit to see. keeping towels white
If the entire load is white, add 1 cup lemon juice to the wash. If not, 1 cup borax.
Switch bath wash and see if that is the problem. Could it be makeup?
