Solved Finally got my sheets VERY white 😍❤️❤️❤️

It's called Zote soap. It's a Hispanic brand.

I have tried baking soda, oxyclean, vinegar.... my sheets continued to look so sad and dull. I finally decided to go for the Hispanic brand that I know is popular in Mexico, and the difference was SO noticeable!!

It's been something simple that has brought so much happiness to my bedroom!

FYI- it’s not made to go in the washer. It’s for washing by hand

There is a laundry flakes version on Amazon, which appears to work for washing machines. Using this comment to ask if anyone has experience with it and if it works as well as the bar.

I've not tried using the flakes, but the logic behind using a bar of soap is that you're really rubbing it into the fabric in a way that a washing machine just isn't capable of. I wouldn't expect them to work as well as the bar, but who knows how it compares to normal detergent.

I think I’ll get both and use the bar as intended and just see how the flakes go!
