Hi everyone!

I started running a holiday let about a year ago, and use white bed linen. Over the year the linens have gradually yellowed, and so I'd like to find a way of bringing them back to white, if at all possible. I've just found, to my surprise that you can still buy Reckitt's Crown Blue Laundry Soap Tablets on Amazon, but according to reviews, there are no instructions. Now, I remember my Mum using Reckitt's Blue Bags, when I was young, but don't recall how they were used, or if they are actually the same product. Does anyone have any info they can share on this, or alternatively any tips on getting yellowed whites back to bright whites, or is it just time to buy new linens?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Never put coloured clothes in with your whites although I do sometimes put light blue in. I also hang the whites in the sun outside. Use a good soap powder. Pleased to say my washing is always gleaming white!

I haven't read all the other comments but I find that something like Oxyclean makes everything sparkling white. Can buy cheaper alternatives in places like B&M, Lidl, Aldi etc. You can either add 1 scoop to the wash or soak in a bowl before washing. Soaking is excellent for removing stains such as fruit stains, wine etc. Makes my white 100% cotton table linen stain free and very white. My daughter uses Vanish Gold which seems to be very good but it is more expensive.
