If you have white bedding or clothing that's looking more "off-white" these days, use this super simple method to whiten whites (without bleach, no less!)
We all want our whites to be their brightest. But even for the most domestic among us, it's tough to keep them looking that way. Bleach is certainly an alternative, but you can't use it on everything. If this describes you, don't worry! Here is how to naturally whiten white clothes -- no harsh stuff necessary.

I had a robe from Bath and Body Works that had become dingy. I didn't want to buy a new one- I was ready to try anything. So, I decided to go a little bleach-crazy- I had nothing to lose, I was about to throw it out anyhow! And so I learned how to ACTUALLY whiten clothes with bleach! (Fun fact- I wrote this article nearly seven years ago- and I STILL have this robe- no holes, tears or other issues! I don't recommend this method for weak fabrics, but for sturdy fabrics!? What do you have to lose?) Enter October's FREE Giveaway HERE! -Gather all of the clothes you want whitened (make sure they are sturdy and not delicate fabrics and that they don't have any colors at all, threads, etc.) -Throw them in the washer on HOT and wait until it has been filled with water- then STOP the washer -Add (believe it or not) 4-5 cups of bleach -Allow to soak for a few hours -Add laundry detergent and wash You'll be shocked that what seemed un-whitenable actually turns pure white! ***If you are using CONCENTRATED bleach, please use the following directions. -Start your washer on the hot cycle and wait until the tub has filled with hot water -Add 2-3 cups of bleach (2 for medium load, 3 for large load) -Allow washer to agitate for 30 seconds (allow the bleach to mix into the water) -Add clothing you want whitened and regular detergent -Run on the longest cycle you have available but DO NOT allow your clothing to soak in the water. I have been using this method for YEARS now and each time I do it, I'm like "MAN! Miracle whitening and cleaning going on here! So glad I know how to do this!" Sidenote: A few weeks after I wrote this, I started using DIY OxyClean that I just made at home- and while bleach is good to freshen up and whiten clothes, this DIY OxyClean just blows it out of the water in terms of stain remover. DEFINITELY check it out, especially for delicate fabrics. (As I added to the comments below, please note that this method of using bleach really is only for sturdy white fabrics, not delicate or old fabrics. If you are in doubt, put a small piece of the shirt in the bleach water and let it sit to see how it stands up to it. If you have any qualms about the fabric, boil it instead in the DIY OXYCLEAN from above.)
Okay folks, this makeover isn’t about pretty, it’s about function. You saw what our tiny master closet looked like: Help me, Rhonda. I really let it go because I knew I was EVENTUALLY going to get to it, so why bother? I had this rad plan when my husband was going to be out of town for 3 days to surprise him with a master bedroom makeover when he came home. I was going to be awesome and organize the closet, paint, makeover a dresser, make a headboard and create a beautiful retreat to welcome him home. Then, I got sick with a stomach bug the day he left. Then 3 of the 5 kids got it. Uggghhhh. Soooooo, I greeted him with a closet makeover and some Lysol instead. First, I took EVERYTHING out of the closet, removed that big long closet rod/shelf, and then sent 40% (thank you Katie Goldworthy in the comments for the 40%!) of the stuff to the Goodwill. Out went anything that hadn’t been worn the previous year. That eliminated a lot. The thing that bugged me most about this closet was the dead space on the sides that made it really hard to get to the clothes at the end of the rod. So, I tried to make the dead space work for me by placing two rods on each side and made the clothes face out to me. Supplies you'll need: * a drill * we used a wooden closet rod but with the price of wood these days you're probably going to want a metal adjustable one and some wall anchors if you won’t be drilling into a stud in the wall. I did the same thing on my side and that doubled our closet space right there! Our closet light needs to be replaced~it was smelling hot (yikes!) so I didn’t mess with it and the pics aren’t great, but you get the idea. Then, for the middle section I picked up two brackets with the rod holders and mounted another clothes rod and a shelf on top. You could use a scrap piece of wood sanded down as an option as well. I also got a cube organizerfor 39.99 plus a few bins to hold socks, paint clothes, swimsuits, etc. Then, I added a couple of pretty knobs and that was it. We were using part of my son’s closet across the hall for suits, skirts, ties, etc. but I was able to move everything into this closet and the 2 dressers we have in the room. Isn’t it amazing what throwing stuff out and making a closet functional can do for your mood?! I love our closet now :) Have you come up with any creative solutions for small closets?

This Clothes Hanger Book Report works with any fiction book! It’s incredibly detailed, so students can complete every aspect of this project independently! First, students complete a draft packet while reading their books. They’ll fill the packet with details about the plot, setting and characters. After finishing the book they’ll analyze its theme and write a personal review. Next, they’ll fill in clothing shapes with final copy versions of their work! Finally, they’ll assemble their work onto a paper or real clothes hanger! Students’ work will hang below a hanger with the message “Try this book on for size!” Not only do these make great displays, these projects get kids thinking about and reflecting on their reading in new and unique ways! The Clothes Hanger Book Project is designed for students to complete on ANY FICTION BOOK. The highly detailed handouts and worksheets in this resource are designed so that students can either work on the project in class or completely independently outside of the classroom.
