I use Persil brand (I prefer the blue color scent wise) and DH's white Shabbat shirts stay perfectly white. Ironically I didn't like the way Tide washes clothes here.

I use Persil but the shirts still turn yellow.
What temperature do you wash them on? Do you use bleach?

No bleach whatsoever, machine wash cold for everything. My machine is an 8kg Candy. I do half hour wash cycle, hour and a half dry. Haven't had any problems with white stuff turning yellow?

My dh insists on using Economica bleach in the washing machine. Bit radical and I don't like the smell, but as long as he does those washes by himself and puts only his own things and tableclothes in - it works. What

What's cold? 15 or 30 degrees?
Wonder if I did a quick wash, if they would stay white....but it's kinda gross to do that for underwear, no?

Ummm, I'll get back to you on that, lol. A wash in the States was a half hour too. As far as I can tell everything comes out squeaky clean. I guess it also depends on how powerful your machine is? I got the 8kg because I would never do laundry if I had an hour/hour and a half long wash cycle. The only issue I've ever had was I get these weird spots if I over stuff the machine.

Do you guys have sodium percarbonate in Israel? It’s pure peroxide and I love it for whites. I soak a bunch of whites in hot water and a few oz of SP, and they look amazing afterwards.
