Here's an ancient Korean secret, no joke. Korean people have been documented to have a long history of wearing white clothing, before washing machine times. Apparently what they did then, and what most housewives continue to do today (including my mom), is to boil their whites with a bit of soap. You can use detergent, oxyclean, whatever's your poison. The key is to use only a little of the soap and then boil it for hours. It preserves the fabric and will get it spotlessly white without using any bleach. I did this once and my roomates thought I was nuts because they looked in the pot hoping for some soup and instead I had a big vat of white washcloths bubbling away on the stove.
