I've actually bleached oatmeal colors pillow slips back to white using bleach and Brite White. :) I will definitely check in to the OxyClean packets, though. Always looking for something new and better to try!

I was just browsing the white Ektorp lounges on the Ikea website and trying to decide whether I could live with white, then flicked over to my Blog Reader and saw your post! Thank you for all your tips. We have 2 small kids who love their icecream and chocolate. It would have to be a food free zone. Do you iron your covers every time you put them back on?

Believe me we have had our share of incidents but all I do is pull them off and throw them in the wash. Easy. Love it.. I don't think I have seen or heard about this "White Brite" product before. Will have to look into it. Thanks for sharing.
