I used chlorine bleach on white clothes that were supposed to be washed with non-chlorine bleach. They turned yellow. How do you make them white again?
Try using oxy clean powder this may work. I tried oycy clean and it did not work. I used "YELLOW OUT" It is a powder that comes in a plastic 1 lb. 2 oz. container. Most likely I bought it at WalMart, not sure. It worked on a cotton-polyester top that I bleached by mistake, which then turned it a tannish/yellow. I followed the directions on the back of the YELLOW OUT container; soak in a gallon of water with 1/2 cup of YELLOW OUT for 20 minutes and then wash with detergent not containing any peroxide or bleach (use color safe detergent) The top came out bright white!
How do you remove bleach stains on clothing with vinegar?

Tonight I'm bleaching my hair but I want to go swimming Even if I rinse out the chlorine before I bleach it will it turn my hair green?
Chlorine does not turn hair green. Copper in the pool water is the culprit. If you wash your hair before you bleach it, it should not turn green from an earlier swim. If you are concerned about copper in your hair, rinse your hair with white vinegar. That will break down the copper and remove it.

Will non chlorine bleach return white clothes to white after they were washed with pink?
No, only chlorine bleach (if you're lucky) can do that magic trick! Non-chlorine bleach (hydrogen peroxide and citric acid) is good at removing organic stains like grass or blood stains. It's not so effective against inorganic stains (pink ink.) On the other hand, if you accidentally put some beet juice in with the wash, non-chlorine bleach would work.
Why would you want to use non-chlorhine wash?
I stopped using chlorine bleach, because it's too toxic. It wreaked havoc on my sinuses and skin. Also, bleach is corrosive. It is only good for brightening white cotton. Use it on anything else and it will spot and otherwise ruin clothing. Use it too much on whites, they'll eventually turn yellow or wear out faster because of the bleach use. Chlorine bleach is not good for colors as I've explained before, however great substitutes exist. I use hydrogen peroxide, or vinegar and baking soda. I've never combined all three. These concoctions are color safe and brighten or whiten just fine without the allergic effects of chlorine bleach. Chlorine bleach is icky. I will never use it again.
How do you remove yellow from non-chlorine whites accidentally treated with chlorine bleach?

When to use chlorine bleach and when to use non chlorine bleach?
When doing laundry, chlorine bleach is used for white clothing only. Non-chlorine bleach is used for other color-safe clothing. Chlorine bleach should always be diluted and never put directly on the clothing; it will weaken the fibers. Chlorine bleach can also be used in the home to sanitize and clean. Be sure to use only on color-safe, non-porous items, such as a toilet or bathtub. Wear gloves when using and always ventilate the room you are in. Also, avoid getting any on your clothes as even one drop will permenantly stain.
