I have a pink and white jersy and got orange stuff on just the white part. I've tried Oxy-Clean, spot bleaching it, and covering it in detergent along with other stain removers. If I put it in bleach water, with mostly water, will it destroy the pink? I plan on wearing it very soon, so it can't be any long term repairs.

O, I Forgot to say that it is not a fresh stain, its been there for a while now, and I've been trying to get it out.

Yes. Bleach takes out any color, even if the entire shirt is not white. I would not reccommend using it.

Sorry but you may not be wearing it soon. If the stain is old it makes it harder. Try the bleach pen or even try dabbing some dilluted bleach on the stain with Q Tips. No, it won't destroy the pink, if it is a real bright pink it might lighten a bit but you probably won't notice. Bleach can destroy the fabric if it is left on for too long, so be careful. You could try hydrogen peroxide, dab it on with a Q Tip and then put it outside where the sun can get to it. The peroxide bleaches slowly, as does the sun together they might get it. My favorite spot remover is equal parts Borax and dishwasher detergent disolved in the hottest water you can safely use with the shirt then soak it overnight and wash as usual. It seems to be the best for removing old stains. Is the shirt wearable with the stain? If not you can try anything and everything since you have nothing to loose.

I Would Try Washing It In Clod Water With No Bleach.Don't Dry It Till You See If The Stain Is Off It.If It Is Not I Would Soak It In Just Cold Water For A Couple Of Days.

Well that's a tough one. Depending on the type of fabric it is, it might fade the pink. I would try just dabing the white with the stain with bleach (not full strength) let it set for about ten min then see if the stain is gone. If not well go for the bleach water.

mix peroxide with a liquid cleaner and apply to the spot. let sit for 2 hours then apply more liquid cleaner to scrub the peroxide in let sit overnight. Rinse next day and spots should be gone-if not repeat this process-it is a winner and vinegar may help to if the spot is oily but vinegar stinks and can leave a spot so i wouldn't use it

Carbona makes some amazing stain removers. My mom uses them and she is a chronic spiller.
