how to clean white bleach spots?

Question

I accidentally mixed my colored clothes with whites in laundry. And there are lots white spots on clothes. Is there anyway I can remove them? Please help.

Thank you folks - I think I have to donate them :-(((

Hi Norman, it was bleach for whites and i mixed colored clothes with whites. Also, I did put the clothes in the dryer, so I believe they stay permanent. Well, I'll try rubbing vinegar/Hydrogen Peroxide on the stains... Thanks for the tip!

Answer 1

Not clear on your question.. bleach yellow spots or what???

that is why I don't like using bleach. It's toxic and can leave marks. I hope you haven't put the clothes thru the dryer. If that has happened, it may not come out. Heat sets the stains.

But pour on some hydrogen peroxide, straight. I know peroxide is also a bleach, but it takes the dingies out left by bleach. Then rinse the clothes in a sink of vinegar and water. About 1 cup in a small sink.

By the way, switch to peroxide in your laundry and it will take the dingies out of your white clothes. And it's safe for colored clothes as well.

Unfortunately, there isn't a lot you can do. You could tie die your clothing, or wash it again with bleach for a faded look.

Otherwise, don't toss them. Those clothes would work great for cleaning (you wear them or cut them into cloths). Also, you could donate them to a daycare and they could make projects like puffy paint shirts, etc.

It's permanent. It took out the color and you can't put the color back. Sometimes you can use a bleach pen or spray bottle to add more and make it look artistic, or you can use fabric paints to put designs on.
