How do I whiten a judo suit?

Have tried washing and then bleaching, slightly disasterous results as the heavy cotton has turned yellow in parts. Any help greatly appreciated.....|||Mrs. Stewarts Liquid Bluing





You will find it at the supermarket in the laundry aisle. It%26#039;s in a small blue bottle with a white lid.





You add a few drops to your load of whites in the rinse cycle. The blue takes away any color that shouldn%26#039;t be there, like yellow, and makes your whites look amazing!|||Sorry, no help. I had the same problem once and ended up buying new.|||If there%26#039;s no other color, like embroidery, on the suit, you can use color remover. Rit makes a good one, and you can find it next to the dyes at the grocery store or drugstore. It%26#039;s stinky, unpleasant, caustic stuff, but it will make your judo suit white again and will take out the yellow discoloration from the bleaching. Please follow the package instructions carefully, and make sure that any chlorine bleach you may have used in the past is thoroughly rinsed out.





Hope this helps--Dave|||Try using Borax.....follow the directions on the box and that should do it.





Or you could take it to be dry cleaned and ask them to spot treat the yellow areas.|||Bleach|||The good old fashioned soap bar for washing clothes, you can buy this in most hardware stores, and won麓t cost you much. Soak your suit in cold water , remove from the water %26amp; rub the soap in , give a good rub. Leave like this free from the water ,say 1/2 hr or so , this lets the soap soak into the material. Then back to the cold water rinse a little add more soap , then straight to the machine on a 40潞c wash. Hang your suit outside in the sun , The sun will do the rest of the work by bleaching your suit whiter than white. I never ever use any bleach on clothes , all it does is make it look clean but the more you add bleach, the more it burns te fabric|||oxyclean??|||Sun bleaching might help. Good luck.|||Oxyclean
