1. Put the the first load into the washer with two scoops of Oxi Clean and a small amount of laundry detergent. Let the agitator run for about 5 minutes and then let the load soak overnight.
2. In the morning pour white vinegar into the fabric softener compartment on your machine. Vinegar is helpful during the rinse/spin cycle to break down excess detergent that might “stick” and create residue on the clothes. If your washer doesn’t have a fabric softener compartment you can get a fabric softener ball to throw into your wash — it automatically dispenses at the right time. If you have sensitive skin or feel like you should set your washer for a second rinse cycle to make sure everything rinsed out nice and clean.
3. Once the washer was done, transfer the clothes to the dryer but as you do so check each piece to make sure the yellow spots were gone. The soak and wash worked really well but there were a few pieces that still had spots. Keep those items out of the dryer (for fear of setting the stains), and apply spot stain removers and then rewashed. Also let these items hang out on the clothes line as the sun is supposed to help fade the spots.
Now go give it a try. It worked for me. You don't have to use hot water--cold/warm works well too.
