So clearly you are not someone who uses bleach when they wash their clothes. Which is fine, I’m certainly not trying to tell you what to do, just mentioning that white clothes will stay whiter longer and look nicer when one uses bleach during the washing process. But this would be a terrible thing to add to coloured clothing. I’m Swedish and we use bleach on our whites in Sweden, as do friends throughout Europe, so it’s definitely not an “American thing.”
As to how common it is, I cannot say though, but if you ask around you’ll find it’s not uncommon.
