My white hold ups are a bit brown on the toes.

Do I need to do something other than submerge in tepid water with unscented soap, rub them and let them soak for 10 minutes before laying them flat to dry?

would you ever wash em in the washing machine?

I have no idea what hold ups are, but the thing that is important to how you wash a thing is what the material is. In general, oxygenating whiteners like OxyClean are a safer way to whiten things than chlorine bleach, so unless the material is something that this is known to be a bad idea for, I would try a soak in that.

    I use oxyclean for a lot of things and it works especially well on fibers, including synthetics.

    No risk of it degrading the material like bleach will.

    Can help bleach out a stained tub too.

    Also carpets.

    *Be aware it can turn wood black tho. Depending on some features of some woods, it causes a chemical reaction that will turn the wood black. So be careful using near old wood floors/furniture.
