Problem: Yellowed White
Solution:
Use Rit Color Brightener to safely help remove yellowing.
Use hot water (130°F+) and sufficient detergent.
If fibers have not been damaged beyond repair by bleach (check fabric for tears and bleach spots), use above solution to remove or reduce yellowing. If fibers have been damaged, the problem is irreversible.
