why did you put white clothes in with any type of color? even if it has been washed a hundred times, it can still fade...and why risk your white clothes? read the label on the bleach for soaking instructions. don't let them soak too long or it will kind of 'eat' the fabric.

Start the water running into the washer. Add soap and extra bleach. Once the washer starts churning, put the clothes in - not before or you can get bleach spots. Stop the washer and let it sit for an extra 15-30 minutes then let it finish.

That happended to me when my daughter was a baby, I put red corduroys with the whites, you can imagine what happened. Buy a bottle of "Bluette" (read the directions, you might have to dilute it) you can find it the detergent aisle (if not ask). Soak them for a while, then wash your clothes (whites only) with bleach. Good Luck!

Try rubing the wet socks with a bar of soap and then wash in hot water

i have done that before and if you dont dry the cloths it will not set in the dye, rewash the white cloths and use about a cup of bleach

Please dont use bleach, it will weaken the fibers of the fabric and one day, your clothes will literally fall off!
Use Rit Color Remover to help remove color from dye-transfer stains on washable 100% white fabrics without damaging garment fibers. Rit Color Remover will reduce color from colored items and white items with any colored areas.
