Answer 1

Answer 2

I do fabric dying professionally. Here is your best option. Take the garment to a drycleaner and have them remove as much of the spot as possible. Next If they are unable to remove the stain entirely, you will pretty much be stuck dyeing the garment a shade or two darker than it currently is. You will want to use "Procion MX Fiber Reactive Dye". This is almost certainly the dye your garment was originally dyed with by the manufacturer. DO NOT USE RIT, it is junk.

You'll need 2- 2 3/4 oz bottles of Procion MX Dye, 1/2 lb soda ash, one bottle of synthrapol and some white vinegar. Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot water, stir in the soda ash with a plastic spoon. Dispose of the spoon. LET THE WATER COOL OFF, then soak the garment in it for about 30 minutes. Remove the garment and hang it to drip over the bath tub for a few minutes while doing the next step.

Fill your washing machine with cold water. Stir in both 2 3/4 oz bottles of the dye powder with a plastic or wooden stick. Dispose of the stick. Do not get it on you or you will wear it for about two weeks. It will permanently stain your clothes. I wear two pairs of exam gloves, but single dish gloves will work. Now start the machine agitating and add the garment to it. Stay with it, you need to make it agitate for at least 20 minutes, let it set for 10 minutes, agitate for 20, set for 10 for a total of 2 hours. Do not let it sit more than 10 minutes at a time or it will not dye evenly. Finally, let the machine finish the cycle then run it again and add about 1 cup of white vinegar to set the dye. The dye will not stick to your machine, only natural fibers. It will rinse clean.

You'll need to wash the garment alone with 3 capfulls of synthrapol in cold water at least 3 times then once with your laundry soap. All of the ingredients I have named here are available from the following web address.

You can make some matching socks or a couple 100% cotton t-shirts while your at it, follow the same steps and do them all together.

Answer 3

Go to the store to the section where they sell the Rit dye. They have a little white box of dye remover. I washed a red sweater once and didn't know there was a white tee-shirt in the washer. The shirt turned pink. I got a bucket and put the dye remover and the shirt in and swished it around and the pink came out.

Answer 4

in the event that they have the two been washed plenty there in all possibility isn't a difficulty as any residual dye could have been rinsed away an prolonged time in the past. maybe if this is an rather dwindled bra i does no longer in user-friendly terms to be risk-free, yet a dark crimson shouldn't instruct any dimming of shade. in case you have one, use a laundry undies bage for the bra: it is going to save it from getting roughed up with the help of alternative outfits whilst agitating interior the washer.

Answer 5

Dye the jumper pink. I think I've seen dye for sell in most supermarkets.

Answer 6

There is a product called dye-out, which is sold in some supermarkets, which is for just such occasions. Unfortnately some fabrics just wont let go of a colour once they have picked it up, but it is worth a try.

Answer 7

i did this with my dads t-shirts and i was horrified! in the supermarket, in the aisle with the washing powder and fabric softener there was this packet of stuff ~(i cant remeber what its called sorry, really not helpful i know!) that you put in a bucket of water with the dyed clothes and leave for a while then wash as normal, the t-shirts came out good as new and my dad never knew the diff!

Answer 8

You can buy a product in the super markets (cant remember name) It removes the die from clothes so should be back to normal...have a look with stain removers xx

Answer 9

depends which you prefer the black or do you prefer the PINK if you like the PINK give me call

Answer 10

You cannot - the only option is to dye it, which is done in the washing machine and can be messy and uneven.

Answer 11

apply mayyonaise vigorously to the black and freeze for three days. Wala!!
