this brightens and whitens towels and washcloths? I love white in the bathroom, but avoid it as it gets dingy so fast.

Including sisters
What is another role 2 sisters could play in a wedding besides bridesmaid? I was thinking about having them both stand at the guest register. It is a small, simple wedding and there are not a lot of "parts" for them to have. Only having one matron of honor. She is the groom's sister and introduced us. I think my sisters will be a little miffed for not also being bridesmaids but I only one since I'm keeping it small (as well as other reasons). Also, what is something else a 4-year-old boy could do other than being the ring bearer? Thanks so much for the tips. You guys are the best. Thanks for letting me pick your brains.
We have 9 to choose from, not including

towels
Hydrogen peroxide the kind in the brown bottle. Keeps whites clean and takes out tons of stains including blood stains.

I read somewhere recently (I think Heloise) about using vinegar in either the wash or the rinse? Maybe she has a website where you could get the exact info.
Did that with towels
I bought 4 different colors, two of each as I feel you can use a towel twice before it has to be washed after showering and I wash every 4 days or so. That way no one wondered which towel they had used the day before, etc. Much easier to keep track of also when they all land on the floor and yet all I heard was "it isn't my towel." I am the color coding queen between work and home.

I am 54 and figure with all the down-sliding I am going to have to work until I am 154. I am too old to keep digging myself out; something has to give.
That's what paper towels are for...
or even toilet paper...I flush with my foot, no way am I touching handle, and never open the door with my bare hands. There was a study once showing that the most common germs on money, shopping cart handles, and restroom door handles was fecal matter!
Getting towels clean
Anyone have any suggestions on how to get towels to smell clean again. I've tried various detergents, Borax, hot water, cold water, hanging to dry, dryer sheets and nothing seems to work. I wash my towels, we use them once or twice and they just don't smell fresh anymore. Also after we use them we hang them on a towel rack to let the fresh air dry them. My husband hates the bleach smell so don't use that.
fresh towels
I use Gain detergent, the regular kind. Has a really nice smell. We live by ocean so our towels get musty smelling quite easily.

You could try Craig's list. Are you including pictures with your ads?
That always gets people too. Pictures of sweet little puppies.... AWWWW.
Towels and sheets are the one load
I never use softner sheets on because it seems like there is a waxy coating on them that I don't like. They don't seem as absorbent or clean-feeling. I take my own towels with me when I travel because at people's houses they feel coated with wax, and at hotels they have that fishy odor sometimes, like school gym towels - ugh. I think that smell comes from using bleach but then not drying them thoroughly before stacking. Yuck.
Ditch the paper towels... sm
Instead of using paper towels/napkins at mealtime, we use linen napkins. If we happen to eat fast food (we usually bring it home), we always keep the extra napkins to use later.
Also, you can use vinegar and water and newspapers to replace Windex/paper towels when doing windows/mirrors/faucets around the house.
my mom would stash paper towels and - sm
toilet paper. When she died I counted 86 rolls of TP and about 30 paper towels, also about 15 boxes each of zip lock bags, quart, gallon, freezer bags. My dad and I divvied it all up between him, me and my two brothers. If it was on sale at the store my mom bought it. Had about 18 pounds of butter in the refrigerator too, as well as cheese, and about 80 packs of Hershey chocolates (they were hidden in a closet). Was a bit OC on the TP and PT though, and every night she would check all the doors to make sure they were locked at least 4 x before she would go to bed. Always made enough food that is for sure. My MIL goes either one way or the other, we never know until we get there though. No snacks so it if is a sparse dinner then we end up going home hungry and stopping on the way to get something, or the kids fill up on the dessert I bring. Stayed home this year though, and my BIL is cooking for them this year, and I cooked for us.
I found my entire family tree including
dates of birth and marriages, complete spouses names, etc., for me and my 3 siblings on someone's web site. Kind of scary that my DOB and full birth name, married name, spouse's name and our marriage date was on the 'net! (plus my parents, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, on and on). This site branched out into 6 different families and was traceable to the 1400s! So much for trying to hide from the stalker it took me 6 years to get away from!
I use up a roll of paper towels every 2 days. And

I hate the hard towels too, but figure - sm
what I will do is dry them outside, and just fluff them in the dryer for 5 minutes to soften them. Best of both worlds that way.
Anybody see the new thing now that internet companies including Comcast are going to monitor monthly
internet usage.
Great job! Our local paper had a posting that got 75 resumes, including mine! Love

Fabric softener makes towels softer, yes, but it also makes them less absorbent. sm
Which is, after all, the function of a towel, absorbency. :-)
