15. If I have something white that begins to yellow, I'll put it into a peroxide

soak for a couple of hours. That usually fixes it.

I got some stains on some vintage linens. They looked yellow with some stains that were darker and looked like rust. Apparently, that's not uncommon. I found something called Mama's Miracle linen soak which was amazing. I think I'd try that next time I'm noticing a white summer shirt going yellow.

Generally, though, I'm not seeing any yellowing with my clothes with my homemade detergent.
