Having an almost un-natural need to get my white's very white, I've experimented often on how to best clean whites. Your tests may be consistent, but it's not set up to maximize cleaning. Two big flaws in your testing is 1) not using enough water. Even if you are washing a few items... using more water will greatly help cleaning. 2) you washed in cold. While mfg say you can use cold water... hot water definitely will give you better performance. Other things you didn't do is pre-treat the stains. If you pretreat even a little bit, your stains will definitely see an improvement (in the future, you can try laundry testing pre-treatments... Shout, OxyClean, bleach, Borax, direct detergent, etc), plus a pre-soak or pre-wash. I use a little boost of Borax, OxyClean, bleach, Tide, and wash in hot water and not overloading. This combo will get your whites unnaturally white, like if you just bought it. If your whites are been dingy white for a while, continue to wash your whites like this, and you'll see them get bright white over time.
