Are there any effective, eco-friendly ways to whiten laundry?

I do my laundry at fairly low temperatures (30 - 40 degrees C) using eco-friendly washing liquid, to try to minimise the environmental impact. While this works fine for coloureds and darks, my white clothes/bedding could do with a bit of help. Is there anything natural I could add while washing to whiten them? (Lemon juice? Vinegar? Bicarb soda? Something else entirely?)

N.B. I do dry whites in direct sunlight as much as possible, but this doesn’t seem to be enough!

Why is it with everyone “going green” I cannot find a good clothespin bag for hanging out laundry?

I live in a small town, grew up hanging out clothes (even in winter). My dryer recently died and I was without one for a month, with 4 kids. So I was literally hanging out all the clothes. I don’t really mind hanging out clothes but cannot find a large, durable, clothespin bag. The one I have from Wal-mart, the only store in our area that even carries them, is made out of this weird mesh type fabric and ends up ripping. I don’t leave the bag out in the weather either. K-mart and Martha Stewart doesn’t have them, nor does anyone else. If you get a young store sales person, they don’t even act like they know what I am talking about. You would just think with everyone wanting everyone else to go green and conserve energy that you could find a clothespin bag!

Does anyone know of a good eco-friendly laundry detergent?

I’ve been using Tide for years and it has always worked really well. However, I know that it’s not biodegradable (okay the packaging says it is BUT in reality it takes 5 years for Tide to completly biodegrade) and I really don’t feel good about polluting the water so I can have clean clothes. Any suggestions on eco-friendly laundry detergents that work well? Thanks!

What is an inexpensive, eco-friendly laundry detergent?

I am looking for an eco-friendly laundry detergent, but I don’t want to have to pay an arm and a leg for it. I also prefer the liquid to powder. Right now I am using All Small and Mighty. I would like something more natural, but that still smells good and clean. Any suggestions?
