How do you get a white bra whiter

There is lace around the bottom of the bra. It is gray from washing, I have tried peroxide but it didn't work. Since the bra is in perfect condition I was thinking of replacing the lace. I have 3. Any ideas?

    Mine get washed cold on gentle cycle, less than recommended detergent, vinegar in the rinse cup, no fabric softener and line dry. I typically hang in the shower till dry. Hot here so it just takes a few hours.

    What is the fabric content of the bra? Polyester, nylon, cotton ?


    Unfortunately some synthetics have a tendency to discolour just from exposure to body sweat, and repeated washings and dryings.

    If only the lace is looking less than attractive, my guess is that its fibre content is different from the rest of the garment.


    Have you tried soaking the bra in blueing washing powder? If it doesn't respond, then replacing the lace with new may be your best option.
