# How to Keep T-Shirts White
A crisp white T-shirt is a casual stand-by that can be worn in an almost endless number of ways. When cared for properly, they add a crisp and clean feel to any outfit, and are ideal for steamy summer days. Unfortunately, every discoloration, from the tiniest stain to dingy build-up, is glaringly obvious. White T-shirts must be laundered with more care and in a different manner than colored clothing to maintain their brightness and prevent dinging.
Things You'll Need
- Commercial laundry stain remover
- Borax
- White vinegar

1
Eliminate stains by dampening the affected area with water and spraying it with commercial laundry stain remover as quickly as possible.
-
2
Separate white T-shirts from colored clothing before washing.
-
3
Add only the recommended amount of detergent when washing white T-shirts, as residue left behind by using too much product can cause dinginess.

4
Fill the tub with the hottest water temperature recommended on the garment's care label.

5
Add 1/2 cup of borax with the recommended amount of laundry detergent to brighten white T-shirts.
-

Pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar into the rinse water if you have hard water, which grays white T-shirts over time.
