Doesn't matter what powder, soak them in bleach (or oxyclean or similar) first.

I found out accidentally that Dr Beckmann's Colour Run remover works a treat to whiten shirts that have greyed through being washed too many times. It's in a little red box and I've found it in Dunnes a few times. Magic!

Look in the laundry aisle for whitening powders - glow white, for instance. Anything designed to take greying whites back to sparkling whites should work.
