My roommate did a load of laundry with a pack of his cigarettes, and didn't tell me. Anyway, everything washed fine except my favorite, new, white, expensive bra. It's yellow. Help! How do I make it white again?

What you actually have is a tobacco stain from the cigarettes that obviously got wet and stained the load of laundry. See if these help you.

You can also soak it in some hydrogen peroxide and warm water for about an hour. Launder as usual.
I found by accident a product that removes nicotine stains from almost any surface. It's called Shock it Clean found at HSN.com, Amazon and other places. It comes in a variety of scents. It works on so many kinds of stains but the best I've found for nicotine.
