Whiter Whites: Is it possible?

My whites are no longer white, and this is something I never notice until I buy something new thats white and then, bam! Do you have this problem too?

My results: I tried this twice. The first time I did it in a top load washer set on hot and let it soak and didn't really notice any change in the whiteness. The second time I boiled a spaghetti pot of water and dumped it into my sink that was filling with hot water and let it soak, stirring it occasionally. This time I noticed a change everything wasn't back to "brand new whiteness" but things were whiter. I think if you did this once or twice a year it would keep things brighter and whiter longer and the quality of the fabric makes a difference too, the boys low thread count sheets and towels didn't change at all.
