How long is a white shirt supposed to stay white? I have a small washer/dryer combo. I use hot water and about 4oz bleach for white laundry. Am I doing something wrong?

if the white shirts are a blend and not 100% cotton, the bleach will eventually turn the shirts yellow tinged.

Because they're made in China?

Bleach tends to turn white shirts to yellow. I discontinued using bleach a few years back since it was doing exactly that. I now wash with iron out. Its a very strong powder that makes the clothes white again.

Also is it color safe? If a white shirt has a bit of black on the collar will it turn lighter?

It is not too strong for laundry. It actually works amazing well on whites. I actually just used it on a 100% silk shirt and it removed all stains/sweat stains and made the entire shirt look more new.
The way to use it, is by washing the shirts with regular detergent, refill the machine again on the smallest load possible. Add approximately ½ cup of iron out, allow to soak for about an hour and rinse the load.
