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.
