How do you get men's white y-fronts clean without using bio detergent (which they are so often allergic to) and a boil wash, which ruins the elastic ... c

I'd chuck them in the bin.

Who wears white Y-fronts in this day and age?

Is this a companion thread to That Other One?
Ie washing intimate parts?

They still sell them so lots of men must wear them
And as they're all cotton they must be better in very hot weather than nasty polycotton

My old feller. White cotton ones from Marks and Sparks. Always has done, always will. He can't be he only one or M and S wouldn't stock 'em.

Chucking in the bin somehow seems a bit un-ecological.

Is there a competition on at the moment for who can start threads with the most unsavoury titles and contents??

Grannyknot. I so agree with you. And if the wearer objects, then let him wash them himself!

And be warned Grannyknot (and others). Coloured ones just don't show marks discolouration. It's still there.

I am sure that cotton is biodegradable - it's a natural fabric.

So the bin and a trip to M&S for some new ones

Yes, I was just thinking that Jalima. They aren't that expensive that you have to hang on to them when they're old and discoloured...(the pants, that is!).

My mother used to boil my fathers and use them as dusters once they lost their whiteness. I was always embarrassed to do her dusting with my fathers old pants.

DH is a smoothie- only wears plain black slips- and yes he has the figure for it.

If "Stain remover" and a very hot wash don't do the business, bin them and buy new.

Good point roses - I can't wait to see the GN daily newsletter headlines.(And no, I am not repeating the relevant thread titles)
What anyone coming to GN for the first time must think of some people's our preoccupations ! ???

And! Touch your toes!

Mine OH only has one or two pairs that are white but he doesn't often wear them (the white ones that is ), a hot wash and line drying preferably in the sunshine is the way to go if they still look grubby its time of the bin.

Where did that 'Mine' come from? My!

What devotion you show to someone else's pants, jingls. I'm surprised at you.

But the label says 40 degree wash. That's not hot. It doesn't take long for them to become grey looking. We have got hard water which doesn't help.

It would be so wasteful to throw them away. And think 'resources'.

Yuck, white pants on men. Bleach, boil wash with bio powder, the works.

Make him wear black or navy blue. Asda do lovely red striped ones!

My laundry is a matter of pride falconbird. I can't put any old crap on my washing line.

Harrigran he will itch!

There is no answer. [despair]

Oh! That was Farnorth. Not falconbird. Soz.

And no way am I using his old drawers for cleaning. I'm an e-cloths girl.

Goldoxy or Oxy gold (I've forgotten the name)is something I use on table napkins and DH's handkerchiefs. The Lord alone knows what DH does with his handkerchiefs when he's been golfing or fishing. And he (DH not The Lord) can turn a crisp linen napkin into a rag not fit for anything in one day.
