Your first respondent is correct. Wash them again with bleach and soap.

Better go & buy your husband some new white undershirts; that would be a lot less trouble then trying to turn the blue shirts back to white.

Brighten your loads Why waste money on that costly all-color bleach when you can get the same results using vinegar? Just add 1/2 cup white vinegar to your machine's wash cycle to brighten up the colors in each load. Get the yellow out of clothing To restore yellowed clothing, let the garments soak overnight in a solution of 12 parts warm water to 1 part vinegar. Wash them the following morning Unset old stains Older, set-in stains will often come out in the wash after being pretreated with a solution of 3 tablespoons white vinegar and 2 tablespoons liquid detergent in 1 quart (1 liter) warm water. Rub the solution into the stain, then blot it dry before washing. Remove rings from collars and cuffs Are you tired of seeing those old sweat rings around your shirt collars? What about the annoying discoloration along the edges of your cuffs? Give them the boot by scrubbing the material with a paste made from 2 parts white vinegar to 3 parts baking soda. Let the paste set for half an hour before washing. This approach also works to remove light mildew stains from clothing. Pretreat perspiration stains Want to see those sweat marks disappear from shirts and other garments? Just pour a bit of vinegar directly onto the stain, and rub it into the fabric before placing the item in the wash. You can also remove deodorant stains from your washable shirts and blouses by gently rubbing the spot with undiluted vinegar before laundering. Good Luck !

Been there, done that. Wash them again and use a little bleach. It should take care of it. At least you didn't do what I did... I accidentaly washed a KC Chiefs shirt with the whites and everything was pink!!!

Wash them again with laundry detergent and pour in a capful of Clorox Color Safe Bleach. They should come out white. If that doesn't work, you can always throw in some regular bleach. Not too much though.

Go to wallmart, on laundry isle get a box Rit color remover, it is with the Rit dyes, works great will even remove ink from a ink pen on white clothes.

You can try the hot water, lots of bleach approach but I don't think there is any turning back. Once the blue dye got into the cotton fibers it's there for life. My suggestion, go buy new ones....

Add natural salt to the water and leave shirt to soak. Then rinse in warm water. This should do the trick.

If all the above answers won't work, try soaking it for sometime and then wash it again. If all fails, bought him a new one. The ultimate remedy.

coldwater, oxy and bleach for now it may take several washes just dont dry untill you are are done trying .Once you dry you wont be able to get out at all........Next time put 1 cup of vinger in with reg detergent this will keep clothes from bleeding onto others.... Another tip .......when drying heavyclothes,or comforter throw in 3 tennis ball this will speed up drying time and fluff clothes
