I'm trying to find a natural solution for my stained bedsheets. My DH's side of the bed has turned yellow. The sheets are white cotton. Regular washing does not work. Would a natural bleach work? I've never used it so I'm not sure how good it is? If nothing works I guess I will just have to buy a new fitted sheet. Any suggestions?

I haven't used it, but have thought about purchasing Ecover Stain Remover It might be worth a shot!

Oxygen bleach is great for getting rid of stains. I use this and highly recommend it!This is the best of any I have used. There are other brands but I think they are cut with more fillers and ime don't work as well as this stuff. AFAIK the liquid stuff at the supermarket is just hydrogen peroxide. Which also works ok but you have to let it soak for a very long time.

I second the oxy bleach.
I also recommend getting a bar of castille soap. When child gets a stain on clothes, put a little water on stain and rub gently with castille bar, then launder as usual (it doesn't have to be right away). I've had LOTS of luck with the castile bar for food/child related stains.

I tried the natural bleach but it didn't work. I couldn't let it soak because we live in a condo where we have only one laundry room. Was thinking I could try it at night and leave it soaking until morning which may help. If that doesn't work I'm thinking of just buying a new one. Might get the product mentioned in the previous post. I just hate to buy another product that I'm not sure will work.

Castille soap is fairly cheap and accessible. Bronner's has some nice scents in bar form...use it not only to treat clothing but also to wash your hands in the bath or kitchen!
