What do you use to whiten beef netting so it glows in the dark?

Glows in the dark or under a black light? Rit whitener will make it glow under a black light.
Rit whitener is likely your best bet.

Could also see about the glow in the dark hairspray/coloring they sell around that time? To be clear - the colors ARE NOT glow in the dark, but there is a specific one that is supposed to make your hair (or clothes or whatever) glow if you spray it with this).

I used to use a dollar store handwash liquid (think "Woolite" but generic) but not sure there are phosphates in any laundry detergents any more? It was supposedly banned in the 1990s, but I think some of the super cheap products still sneak some in there.

If you happen to be in a dollar store and see something like that that doesn't specifically say "no phosphates" (and it's only a dollar!) it might be worth trying. I would put a few capfuls of it into a small water spray bottle, fill the rest of the way with water and mist the stuff I wanted to glow. If you do it WITH the blacklight on, you can see areas you missed (or if it works at all).

And with anything GITD, you have to make sure it gets LOTS of either sunlight or blacklight to charge it up to make it glow.

Thank you. I will try RIT and maybe spritz them as well. Thanks.
I just get the poly and it glows enough for my needs I guess without further treatment.
