removing stains?

Question

any tips how to rectify ,a cooton top that has been ,washed in machine with navy colours in the machine as well. the navy has obviously made the lemon top darker. thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Best bet is to hand wash it, by itself ,with laundry detergent and any non- chlorine bleach, like Clorox 2. The color safe kind. (NOT REGULAR BLEACH). That should do the trick.

Answer 2

Soak in Vanish or Oxyclean then put in washing machine and wash as usual with a scoop of the above powder added

Answer 3

Both Rit and Carbona make color run remover. You can find it in fabric stores and in the big discounters on the laundry aisle. You simply add it in the wash water, launder as usual and it will remove the dye that bled from your navy colored item. You also may want to add a cup of vinegar to the rinse water the next time you wash the navy item. It will lock in the color and keep it from continuing to bleed.

Answer 4

I use Shout Color Catchers, that way if you wash any light clothes with dark clothes, the dye from the dark clothes gets on the color catcher and not on the light clothes. You can get them pretty much anywhere.

Answer 5

Try washing it w/ whites only and try using like a teaspoon of bleach, you may need to do this a few times to get it's brightness back.

Answer 6

i don't know how to do that. but...if you have ink in a top, spray it with tons of hairspray--BEFORE WASHING IT and then it will come out. not what you were asking, but i still really want 10 points.

Answer 7

oxyclean+water mix - but you have to dip it for 1-2 days....last resort will be to bleach it but you dont want those natural colors to fade....

Answer 8

soak in Vanish and hot wash

Answer 9

I would try to soak in Oxyclean and water.

Answer 10
