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 believe (after looking online) that hold-ups are stockings with the rubberized tops, meant to hold themselves up. Never works for my thick thighs
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.
You can try a bleach dilution on an older pair. Something you might otherwise throw away. Start with 5:1 water to bleach and try stronger concentrations until you get the desired results. Make sure you measure and record your measurements so you know the ratio that works best

Hold ups?
Is that a Bra?
brown on the toes
Nope, they're thigh-high stockings.
You never stop learning.
Not a lady and have no hold ups, but if you want your whites to maintain that crispy, clean brightness, you should try Mrs. Stewart's Liquid Bluing. That shit's magic.
I just toss mine in the wash but I also do not give a damn so like... ๐คท๐ Also, to be fair, have never been a fan of them myself and can't say I've worn them more than like a handful of times in my life.
