Have a whole load of white hand towels, can anyone teach me how to wash them so they stay bright white and wash out whatever slight dirtyness they got? I'd ever so appreciate it!!!

White should only be washed or dried with other whites.

And white towels need to be washed with some kind of bleaching agent - even Clorox makes bleach that is "kinder" to fabrics but the great thing about good cotton towels is that they are meant to be washed with a bleaching agent - light colored towels are more difficult because you can't use bleach because you don't want to turn them white.

Ty! What do you mean by some bleaching agent? Something made for laundry?

Henceforth, stay away from pale hand towels. I buy only dark colors and if I got a stack of luxury-brand white hand towels as a gift, I'd regift them so fast all you'd see is a blur.

Vinegar is supposed to work really well. I personally haven't tried it

I use Tide with Oxi and very hot water. My towels are four years old and still white.
