Textile specialists from the U S Department of Agriculture urge that bleaching is not a substitute for good laundering. Regular washing with appropriate soap or detergent, proper water, and soaking for very soiled garments are key. Bleaches help only for stubborn stains or whitening dingy fabrics when used for the right fabric type.
