how can i restore some whites f rom pink after leaving a red item of clothing accidentaly in washing machine?

Answer 1

If the label says you can, try bleach. leave it on a bit before washing and rinsing by hand (or machine I guess if the item is entirely white).

Answer 2

don't know availability here in UK but in states, we had blueing agents that would whiten whites without bleach. Another item really useful I found was (Murphy's) Wood Oil Soap; use as a pre-conditioner, then a little in the washer with your clothes and it brings the whites back. Used to use this on my tux shirts when waiter for fine dining establishment, and it does work! Bonne chance!

Answer 3

there are toe products you can use onr thing to avoid id vhlorine bleach, the best thing is cardona color run remover or rit facric whitener voth of these products are good but they must be used in cold water only i hope you have not put any of these clothes in the dryer as heat tends to set color. both of the products i mentiones will work if the items aare soaked overnight then washed in the regular wash cycle, a good rule with bright colors like red and burgundy is to wash them with dadk colors like dark blue or black.

Answer 4

If your items are cotton or linen you can bleach them (1:10 solution) for up to 30 minutes. Otherwise wash them again alone with a fabric whitener (it may take a few washes).

Answer 5

Bleaching or uncolouring is a last resort, but uncolouring stuff does not work really good and bleaching is bad for the clothes. It might work, but there is a risk. I fear that you will have to wear pink.

Answer 6

You can try vanish but the best one is a product called Colour Run. It gets out everything but you can't leave it too long before you do it.

Answer 7

Try bleach first, if that doesn't work get Rit dye color remover, or dye the items a darker color such as blue

Answer 8

you need to buy a product called NET CURTAIN WHITENER costs under £1 from and cheapy shop.
I do this all the time and have lots of this stuff at home just incase

Answer 9

try Vanish, its non-bleaching or a very weak solution of bleach and water, but wash through after, as it smells

Answer 10

Rit has a dye remover that works well. Look for it in your locatl supermarket's laundry section where the dye is.
