I have like 10 White T's that i really like, but in the past couple of months like 8 of them have juice stains, food stains, grass stains.

Couldn't I just throw them all in the washer put some bleach in, and get them back out as white t's?

Can someone describe the steps I would have to take to do this (im a newb)

put the t's in turn the water on let it fill up some then put some bleach in if you put the bleach in before you let the water fill up it will eat holes in your shirts

Well back in the day they used to soak clothes in urine to get them brightly whitely. It's the ammonia...But don't do that.. Chuck some stain remover on it, soak, then into the washer.

do that and get some oxycleaner stuff as well. Its in the laudry soap aisle of your local grocery store just put a cap of two of laundry booster/ oxycleaner and bleach and let it soak for half an hour then was it like regular with the oxycleaner/laundry booster.

I beleive it's the other way around...let the machine fill with warm water, then add the bleach (careful not spill on your clothes) in the amount suggested on the bleach bottle.If you add bleach afterwards it won't eat holes but it will result in uneven distribution of the bleach so the bleaching effect will be uneven. let it soak for about two hours. Run the machine thorugh it's cycle. Then repeat the machine thorugh a full wash cycle with detergent and half the bleach you used before. Your clothes may not get all the colour out but it should help-they'll also smell like bleach for a few days.

get some spray n wash, that works wonders. Just spray that on ur tshirts and throw them in the washer with a little bit of bleach!
