By mistake one colored item got mixed into my all white wash that includes a good all white linen set, and DH's nice shirts.

Ive washed it 3 times, once with bleach, once with Borax, once with baking soda, and I still see a yellow tinge.

Until I try everything I dont want to put it in the dryer, because once I do that the color is in for life.

Whats the best product to get an all white wash, white again, that works even better than bleach?

Time Sensitive because I have a stack of laundry that I cant wash because I keep on soaking and rewashing this load.

TIA

I don't know if it's better because I avoid bleach, but I often soak things overnight in oxiclean and water, then wash and get good results.

I've had good success with Rit color remover on white garments that were washed with something red.

Not sure what it would do for originally non white clothing, but maybe it's worth the risk.

B'hatzlacha!
