Getting my gi white again?

[bjornvil]

Hey guys

I have a Fuji Victory single weave which I have been training in for the last 9 months. It's my only gi so it gets alot of miles. I always wash it straight after class, but it really isn't very white anymore, it's gotten to be kind of gray

I've tried bleaching it, but apparently that's not very good for the fabric, and it really didn't work.

Do you guys have any ways of getting the gi back to white? It really looks like it's dirty all the time now...

bring it to a laundry they probably know what to do

Try soaking it in Oxiclean for a couple of hours and line-drying in the sun, if possible.

i had an white 5years old gi that looked pretty dingy and i just recently attempted to dye it a bright lime green, however i think i didn't use enough dye and it turned out a pee yellow but i'm happy with it, as it looks alot better then before.

I always add OxiClean. Also, I recently switched detergents to Tide with "Active Lift" and I noticed it even took away some of the old stains!

You definitely don't want to bleach it.

Lol at "getting coked out" in the gi collar description! Someone actually once suggested to me to try it out before my competition match!

i find leaving it out in the sun to work a bit but oxyclean is good and a cup of white vinegar and baking soda works too .

I use a combination of spray & wash and oxiclean, that combination keeps my Gis super white.
