Why oh why did I ever order white embroidered shirts. I'm incapable of keeping a white shirt clean. The thing that sucks is incant bleach it because of the embroidery. Why is life so hard?

I read a book called "Why people buy". The book discusses how certain colors effect people's buying decisions. Blue implies trust and authority. That's why IBam is known at "Big Blue".

Most of my polo shirts and T-Shirte are blue. I also have a bunch of black shirts. I like black the best because it hides the dirt and sweat.

White is considered a rag in the T-shirt industry... Nice when new, but good luck keeping it clean...

What did the color book say about "black"?

Damon, get some double strenght cleaning vinegar. On first wash, set your machine on cold, add 2 cups vinegar, add some liquid tide, and run all your coloured shirts. Every wash after, add liquid tide, 1 cup Borax( either coloured or white shirts). Heck, try it with all the laundry in the house...I think we’ve talked about this before...... JUST TRY IT......

I always add Borax when I wash my bonnets. But I add 1 1/2-2 cups..... boosts the cleaning power, but more importantly, gets rid of the stank.......
I usually just bleach the hell out of my bonnets but I'm sure that makes them wear out faster. I was using my bonnet pro pads the other day in an office and it totally came apart in the floor. Made a huge mess. I was not a happy camper.

If they are cotton, bleach will make them wear out WAY fast.... I start the wash load, always on warm, or hot, allow them to agitate for 3-5 min. stop the cycle, let dwell for 15-20 min. then let the cycle finish.... they come out perfect EVERYTIME......
