Talk to me about bleaching my whites

I've always used bleach for cleaning but was apprehensive about using it in the wash. How do I do it? Do I use it with soap? Or alone?

Re: Talk to me about bleaching my whites

My machine has a spot for you to pour bleach but before I had this machine I've always bleached whites. I put detergent and fabric softner and bleach in. In my new machine I only fill to the line that is designed for the bleach but in my old machine I would pour a decent amount into the machine maybe about 1/4 cup. I only buy white sheets and white towels so I can bleach them, they smell fantastic when they are done.

I never use bleach - it eats your clothes. Instead I use white vinegar in my white wash and for towels. I put it in the fabric softener dispenser. White vinegar is a natural fabric softener, disinfectant and it cleans your machine at the same time.
