Another Reddit user suggested: “I have white sheets and a white comforter and three dogs.
“Keeping it clean is hard – I wash weekly and use vinegar, laundry soap, and warm water. When I need to spot clean I’ve been using some oxy-clean spray that I’ve had for years.
“In the past, I’ve used oxy-clean powder for white, for the most part, I don’t use any harsh chemicals in my house and I prefer the natural route.
“I will also use the ‘soak’ option on my washer and have them soak for an hour or more if need to during the wash cycle. So far they’re still mostly white but I think it’s impossible to keep them super crispy bright white.”
