How do you get the pink tint out of white clothing when it's accidently washed with something red?

Answer 1

Soak in bleach and detergent in hot water.

Answer 2

There is a product in the grocery store, or store like Rite Aide or Walgreens, Longs Drugs, that is in their Clothing Color Dye section. There is a very small box of 'Whitening" dye that removes the transfer stain if the stain is still fairly fresh!

If you have already washed and dryed the clothing item there is little chance that it will ever come out. This accident happens all the time. A lot of mad, wives and girlfriends will wash their boyfriends/husbands underwear with their red "panties" Then men either have to wear them pink or go out and spend a couple hundred dollars on new underwear!

Answer 3

I am amazed at how many gals still use bleach in their home, it is so bad for your health. I use Melabrite whitener, it is safe and more natural and it really works. My white bra turned pink two weeks ago when wearing a red top, so I know what you mean. It is now white again. Depends on the fabric, you may have to use it twice.

Answer 4

Bleach

Answer 5

Suggestion: buy another shirt if that was the case. It is not easy to get rid of pink tint. Sorry!

Answer 6

Could you send me a picture of how the pink tinted shirt looks? I wanna do this on purpose :)

Answer 7

Try Oxi-Clean with the bleach alternative along with the Downy for Whites that just came out.

Answer 8

Would bleach work on this specific piece of clothing?

Answer 9

Bleach and Hot water have always worked for me.

Answer 10

If you haven't dried it yet, you can just re-wash it. Once it has been wash, I think that's it. It's set. But you might try to dye it white again.
