Try these handy solutions to make washing and drying your laundry a snap.

  • Washing

    Tips for whites:

    • Use Clorox® Regular-Bleach for white and bleachable items only. Always add the bleach and detergent to the wash water before you add the clothes or use your washer’s bleach dispenser.
    • If you are using a washer in a public laundromat, wash your white load first with Clorox® Regular-Bleach. That way, you’ll kill the germs from other users.
    • For the whitest whites, wash your all white load in the hottest water recommended on the care label with detergent, and three quarters of a cup of bleach. (Avoid bleaching wool, silk, mohair, leather, and Spandex.)
