How do you keep your white clothes white

I'm not really good in washing clothes that why I worrying how to our clothes white. I decided to ask an expert of course our mother right? She said that be careful NOT to wash anything colored with whites...synthetic fibers pick up dyes very easily. And if something does get dingy, a good soak in an oxygen bleach, like for 24 hours, whitens it right up. Clorine bleach is not bad....it can weaken fibers, so I wouldn't use on anything like fine table linens or cotton lace, but for white towels and underwear, it's find if used according to the directions. Mix with water and pour into the washer before adding the clothes and add only the maount called for by your washer's directions.
