We never use bleach to make our whites white.
Use an oxi-whitener.
However yellow stains may not be from bleach. It could be down to storage or just the way you are using the bleach.

Bleach doesn't necessarily turn things "white", the yellow may just be an unbleachable stain, or the residual pigment from a darker color such as a red or an orange.

Of course not!

The OP said nothing about using it on clothes!

The OP didn't say that he had a yellow stain that he wanted whitening. Simply asking what bleach do we use that doesn't TURN things yellow!

snikpoh Do not understand your post #6.
What else, other than something made from a textile will bleach turn things yellow?

You could always try Aguafuerte.
That will get rid of yellow stains,

..... though it will probably get rid of all your clothes at the same time.
