Can you bleach all white duvet covers?

I can’t decide weather or not to order this..http://www.pbteen.com/products/dot-matelasse-duvet-cover-and-sham/?pkey=cgirls-duvet-covers My mom said it will turn yellow overtime so could I bleach it if it does turn yellow?

Could you also bleach this even though it has colored trim ribbon? http://www.pbteen.com/products/suite-organic-duvet-cover-and-sham/?pkey=cgirls-duvet-covers

Thanks in advance.

I bought a fantastic Egyptian cotton duvet cover and a pair of pillow cases; they are luxuriously soft and a dream to sleep with.

For sometime now I have noticed the top of the cover has become noticeably discoloured. At first I thought it was the direct sunlight, I was correctly informed that the sun bleaches, so this would not be the culprit.

I wash it regularly with biological soap tablets and a 1/4 cup of white vinegar in place of fabric softener. I have a very good front loading washing machine too. I follow the care labels correctly also.

It could well be that it is just dirty, as it is the top of the duvet cover. I was hoping some one could give some ideas as to why it has changed colour, is it just a build up of dirt and if so why has it not been washed out?

The care label has the no bleach symbol, but does any one advise me to bleach and would it solve the problem? I thought this was the most likely solution.

I know there are many stain removing products on the market, but I am not sure comfortable I am with them. I don’t leave stains and wash to make sure things stay clean in the first place.

Kindest regards,

The man I live with shaves his head, then apparently puts his head on his pillow, leaving nasty blood stains all over the pillow and case. I’ve tried pre-treating with detergent and bleach to no avail.

We found out we had bed bugs pretty quickly. We got an exterminator and he will come every 2 weeks a total of 3 more times. In the meantime, I have washed linens, clothes, etc. in hot water and bleach or ammonia and in hot dry. We’ve been fine up until this morning when I woke up with a huge bite on my arm. I am going to wash the linens on the futon (we moved into the LR) and the clothes that are sitting out, but should I be washing my clothes and stuff every 3 days? I know I am vacuuming a lot. anyone have any ideas?

serious question. The side of the bed were my boyfriend sleeps the sheets turn like a darker color just like his pillow case and then the actual pillow is yellow when i take the pillow case off. My boyfriend is clean, is it maybe because sometimes he sweats at night. usually men get hot in bed and the women are cold lol. My mom had seen his undershirts once when i was doin laundry and the whites turn almost greyish under the arms like stains that dont bleach out my mom said maybe the color of his skin is coming off lol ( hes black) but there is no way that can be so why the hell is everything turing color! even the new matress cover is yellowish.
serious answers please

Every set of sheets I own I have ruined. They come out of the wash looking like bleach has been splashed on them. These are good quality sheets and NO, I do not use bleach……just regular Gain detergent.
