Here's the Secret to Keeping Your White Shirts...White!

My name is Christian from Lagos Nigeria..where can I get oxyclean in Lagos Nigeria.. thank you

"Or blood following an altercation with Raphael"

My sides have gone into orbit.

One word..... Dawn. As many have stated wash as soon as possible (within 12hrs). Concentrated Dawn dish soap cuts through grease and oil like a champ. The blue color dye added to many laundry detergents is there to brighten whites. Treat stains directly with Dawn, massage into fabric with finger.
I hand wash all my garments in a sink using dawn for soaking. When it comes to whites and light colors I always spot treat and soak as soon as I take them off. For any stain that stubbornly persists on whites I use a tiny drop of shoe cleaner and brush it in with a tooth brush adding water as I go so the product spreads out.
I keep a small visine type eye dropper vessel filled with dawn in my bag at all times. The faster you treat any stain the better.

Thank you

It's so difficult to keep anything white clean.

MY TRICK I have a 1970's communist washing machine that beats the living sh!t out of them - washing is mostly a mechanical process...

... but heavy gauge well made machinery is very expensive to produce so now we try to wash them for 4 hours with lots of chemicals.

I would just go out and buy a new shirt.

Wash your dress shirts properly as soon as possible after wearing and you never need to worry about sweat staining.

Woman here. Dr. Bronner's concentrated Sal Suds does wonders for removing stains of all sorts: grease, yellowing on shirts, dirt, blood, etc.

Your have a great channel

My trick is pre-treatment of collars etc. with your hair shampoo, works beautifully !

Well timed video release. My tailor is delivering 5 new shirts (4 of which are white) and 2 new suits in a few weeks 🤣

I've dabbled with all these methods and they do work to one degree or another. Once fool-proof method for me is using RIT Color Remover or RIT White Wash. The products are very similar - in fact the ingredients seem to be the same. The stove-top method is superior to simply adding it to the wash IMO. I have rescued several shirts, including one of my formal pique shirts that was washed (not by me, grrr) AFTER a load of colors but somehow still picked up a pink hue from the previous load. The shirt was properly pink and IMMEDIATELY turned super white again when submerging in the RIT product. The process is not for the faint of heart; the area needs to be well-ventilated and a mask is also recommended, but it works.

What’s the consensus on vinegar and borax? I had an ER trip from a bad cut in which i leaked quite a bit of fluid on a white shirt. That combo got everything out

Very good!

Here''s a pre-treating hack for white shirt collars, underarms and cuffs: Gently brush those sites with inexpensive, baking soda/peroxide-formula TOOTHPASTE!

never heard of bluing before, will have to give it a go

To remove red wine or ballpoint, simply soak the white shirt in a bucket ( submerge) of full cream milk overnite and then wash on a regular shirt cycle with regular washing powder. The lactic acid in the milk thrives on these 2 items and you’ll be amazed at the result. Easy

I'll just keep on not owning anything white.

I've been using the Laundress Bleach Alternative from your white t-shirt cleaning suggestions. It's works pretty good, but yes...in certain spots, even with a long soak, a brush should be taken to it. I'm really now interested in this Blueing agent. I'm going to buy some. I appreciate the video! Cheers.

Not necessarily related to the video, but how would it be best to dress gentlemanly while being an massive outdoors man (hiking, camping, sports, etc)?

Wow, Preston~ start smoking fine cigars and get yourself a manly voice.

I mean, I really was looking for a way to keep my whites shining whites

My spouse kept throwing out "ruined" shirts before we learned that antiperspirant was the culprit.

Thats a nice beard

I always use soda crystals in every wash and use white vinegar instead of fabric conditioner. Separate whites from colours and don't keep washing at low temperatures. This also keeps the washing machine in good nick. Sunlight is also good for natural bleaching. Great video.

Great beard, keep going. 🧔‍♂

Can a White Dress shirt be worn casually? Mine has somewhat of a texture to it but I think it looks fine with Dark Jeans or Chinos. I probably just answered my own question but I appreciate the content as always. I also have a few OCBS for when its cooler but haven't purchased a White one.

What about seman stains ?

OMFG buy a razor!

I'm remembering a Seinfeld episode:
"If you've got blood on your clothes,
then you have bigger problems than what
detergent to use.". 😂😂😂

How can something that's white discolor? 🤔

How to remove mildew stain??

finally a good video!

I’m a woman I snuck in to be nosey and also to keep my mama shirts white when he needs me to 😊

Best way to wash white shirts making shirts really white is using an oxygen releasing detergent such as Oxyclean in hot water. The active oxygen releasing ingredient in Oxyclean is sodium percarbonate which releases oxygen in hot water, with sodium carbonate (otherwise known as washing soda) as a decomposition product. For heavy biological stains such as yellowed collars and armpits, the ultimate stain removing material is Alconox, which is based on enzymatic action that breaks down protein stain by cleavage of the protein molecule. Since its action is enzymatic, and enzyme protein cleavage is a fairly slow chemical reaction it is best to soak the shirt for a fair period of time, (hours). Alconox is fairly expensive and it is usually sufficient to spray only the stanined areas, folowed by washing (peferably with soaking) using a peroxide/percarbonate detergent in hot water.. (do not use these materials to wash wool or silk, which are protein fibers--pure sodium carbonate for washing can be bought in bulk which is what I do; it is generally color safe and usually brightens colors)

Would you recommend Tide White Pen

Great video once again fellas. Some good tips for sure. Keep up all the good work. Cheers!

A secret for getting out discoloration shower with dr. Squatch use dr. Squatch deodorant use dr. Squatch cologne shampoo and conditioner lotion hand soap and so forth BTW could the gentleman's gazette actually do a review on dr. Squatch has new cologne and see if it's actually worth it I actually have all three of the newer colognes that they made their really good but I want to see why are they think about it PS because the cologne is so popular it's sold out but when it restocks I suggest that they get the three of them the bundle when it restocks

I agree with some of the comments that a regular cleaning of the washer can have an effect on the results of your cleaning cycle.

Measurement equals merriment 😂👍 im using that 🙏 great vid.

Bluing! I recall my mother had a bottle of that. Nice tips!

As a veterinarian I will say hydrogen peroxide is amazing. I have an neat ruined many shirts during emergency farm calls with horse blood, but some peroxide and cold water will fix quite a lot.

Laundress is not selling anything now. Their page is still about the product-wide recall

I like how Preston enunciates and doesn't rush forward slurring one's speech. Good show!

I usualy like to use bile soap. Just soak the spot you want to clean and then rub the bile soap against the stain and let it sit for 15-30 min before washing.

Yet another reason any gentleman needs to subscribe to this channel.

Anyone know how to get dark color nail polish out of white bedsheets?
