How to Remove Hard Water Stains on White Clothing
- 1). Place the stained clothes in the washing machine, and fill the washing machine with warm water. Pour a generous amount of vinegar into the machine, and allow the clothes to set in the solution for two hours.
- 2). Turn on the washing machine to wash the clothes. Once the entire wash load is complete, you will need to wash the clothes a second time. With the clothes still in the washer, pour in water-softening laundry detergent according to the manufacturer's directions.
- 3). Wash the white clothes as you normally would. When the entire wash load is complete, you will need to wash the clothes a third time. With the clothes still in the washer, add bleach according to the manufacturer's directions.
- 4). Wash the clothes in the bleach solution. Once the cycle is complete, inspect the clothes for remaining stains. If stains remain, repeat the entire process; otherwise, dry the clothes as you normally would in the dryer.
