How do I remove pink stains from white shirts. A t-shirt w/ red ink ran onto other clothes. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Put the pinkish clothes back in the washer (do not dry or put in dryer!!), hot water, detergent, and some bleach. Let soak for ate least six hours, and then run thru another wash cycle. Should take all the pink out because I have done this before. As long as you did not already put thru dryer, they should be white again. Can also add bluing, but I have had a hard time finding this item lately. Good luck!

Answer 2

Put a folded up paper towel inside the shirt, under the stain, then spray hairspray on it. Use a lot if need be. Then wash it in cold/warm water in the washer.The paper towel will keep the stain from bleeding to other parts of the shirt during the spraying process. Clorox has a bleach pen that works on removing most stains but try the hairspray first. Good luck!!!

Answer 3

OxyClean! I know the infomercials are annoying, but they are absolutely true. Mix OxyClean with the warmest water the shirt can soak in. Be sure it's mixed thoroughly. Then, soak the shirt. It says to only soak for a short time, but I have soaked clothes for up to 6 hours no problem. When done soaking, wash the shirt in the washing machine. You can use OxyClean in there too, if you want.

I managed to get a grease stain out of a shirt that had been washed and dried several times using this method; if it worked for that, I'm sure it will work for this!

Answer 4

Rit makes clothing dye and they make a product that takes the dye out of fabric. It's sold next to the dye.

Answer 5

Things like didi-7 in the laundry aisle claim to be able to do this. Look for one of these products.

Answer 6

bleach or the clorox bleach pen works wonders! good luck!
