If you paid under £50 just bin them.

I agree with MerylStreep. It is amazing just how great the sun is at removing stains.

I’ve known this to work

if the white jeans aren't the white you want, and nothing you've done has improved them, might it be best to give in on white jeans and dye them a completely different colour? pink? real yellow? indigo? green?

I have tried absolutely everything to get my white jeans white again. Before I first washed them, not reading the washing instructions I put a cap of bleach in the wash to brighten them, they looked patchy pink on the line but dried patchy yellow, tried lemon juice, vinegar, .bi carb, glow white still yellow.
Has anyone dyed something they have ruined, if so what colour is best or should I just bin them.
