Step 2: Baking Soda Bliss
Now, sprinkle a dash of baking soda onto the stained region. Baking soda is like the sidekick that comes in to enhance the cleaning power. It acts as a gentle abrasive, aiding in the removal of the remaining stain particles. Give it a little scrub, but don't be too harsh – we want to rescue your clothing, not rough it up!
Step 3: Set It And Forget It!
Allow your garment to rest in a bright, sunny area for at least 1 hour. The sunshine will help to bleach your garment, further whitening your clothes while killing off any bacteria. Win-Win!
Step 4: Wash & Dry
Wash your garment as usual, per the washing instructions provided on the care tag. If the stain persists when you pull your clothing out from the wash, repeat these steps again BEFORE drying the garment. Once the stain has been fully lifted, dry the garment.
Step 5: Victory Lap
Voila! Your white garment should be noticeably whiter and free from those pesky yellow stains.
There you have it, stain-busters extraordinaire! With Blue Dawn Dish Soap, Hydrogen Peroxide, and Baking Soda by your side, yellow stains on white clothing are a thing of the past. So go ahead, flaunt your stain-free whites with confidence – you've earned it!

GREAT WILL TRY THANKS....QUINCY
I use this mixture to clean with as a natural bleacher instead of Bleach . Bleach will turn your white yellow in due time . This mixture will will keep them white & Bright . I use it to also to clean my cats litter boxes but instead of Blue Dawn I use the Green Dawn with the Bacteria killer in it . Mix in a spray bottle ( do not shack it ) . It will build up pressure in bottle seep out . Mix what you need to use . It kills the Cat smell from their urine .
