How do you get stains out of white clothes without bleaching out the other colours.?

Question

I have a stained white shirt that isn't only a white shirt. It has other colours in it too and so I don't want to use bleach. Lets just say, I have tried that previously and stuffed the shirt.

Answer 1

Color safe bleach would be safe for your colors. You can pretreat with something and then wash as normal (Tide liquid works well for pre-treating also). OR if it's relatively small try a Tide pen, I don't know what's in those things but I was able to get raspberry jam out of my daughter's white shirt on the way to church with no water, just my Tide Pen. I have also used it to get black makeup from the previous Halloween out of a Tigger costume in a hurry.

Answer 2

I think you washed it with other fast coloring clothes..any way it depends on how much stain ? the most important rule is to make it dry first don't try to rewash without drying..then if it is slightly stained then it may go by normal washing if not then you have to use a very little bleach with some soap and water and leave it for a while then wash it ...adding lots of bleach will ruin the material...

Answer 3

Oxi-wash with oxi-stain remover combined!!!
You can use it in warm water, make a paste with even amounts, apply with a toothbrush and let it set. Keep checking it add a few drops of water and rub with the toothbrush untill the stains lifts. Then wash as normal in both. Poof no more stain!
This is the only detergent I find that works from babyclothes to my husbands greasey clothes...it's great used properly!

Answer 4

try pretreating the stain with colorsafe bleach. let it sit for 10-15 minutes and then wash your shirt like you normally would. If that doesn't work, try pretreating the stain with lestoil, let it sit for 10 min. and then wash as normal. either way, after you wash your shirt, check to see if the stain came out. if not, don't put it in the dryer bc that will set the stain in permanently.

Answer 5

You can try non-chlorine bleach, or something like Shout that only treats the stained area.

Answer 6

Try spraying a bathroom cleaner directly on the stain itself. I have used bathroom cleaner on my whites and you would be amazed what it can take out of fabric.

Answer 7

nappisan & it works for colours as well
sometimes you have to soak for a couple of days ( or even longer ) as they have made the nappisan weaker but its good & it wont take the colour out!
I'm in australia so i don't know if you have that ( nappisan )where you live

Answer 8

USE A GOOD BRAND OF WASHING POWDER AND STEEP FOR A WHILE THEN WASH IN WASHING MACHINE AS USUAL. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK BUY STAIN REMOVAL IN CHEMIST BUT I FIND DOING THE FIRST ONE WORKS

Answer 9
