I can’t help feeling that a large part of the problem is that we have become obsessed with having our white laundry ultra-white. If we weren’t used to it then it wouldn’t bother us. Perhaps we shoudl just get used to things being just ‘off white’ the we wouldb’t need to use to much bleach. After all you can get your laundry claen without it.

Thats a good question, Blake. I know more and more companies are coming out with alternatives to bleach since in any amount it is not eco-friendly. However I know one rule of thumb is approximately 1/3 rd of a cup per large load of laundry. However this should never be dumped straight in the wash – most washers have the bleach pouring section. If it is a challenging stain, you might like to try one of Ed Begley’s http://www.begleysbest.com/ stain removal products. These are environmentally-friendly and known to have good luck with stains.
