How do you get your whites their most white?

[BKLounger]

I figure there are alot of business professionals here so someone must know this. I usually wear a white t-shirt under my button up shirt every day. I've had some t-shirts now for 3 or 4 years and the still fit fine and look pretty new but over the years they've developed that yellow tint under the arm pits. I have tried washing them in the washer machine with bleach and by hand with bleach and still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions how to get these whites sparkling white again or should i just retire them to the garbage?

If the t shirts are 3-4 years old the best route to go is just buy some new ones.

Soak them with oxiclean, then wash them. However, since you've washed them in bleach, they will disintegrate with any serious washing.

Buy some new shirts.
