Question

i ACCIDENTLY put 2 navy socks in with my white's now they are a dingy grey colour, any advise as to how to bring them back to daz white again

Answer 1

As long as you haven't dried them yet put them in washing machine on hot water with bleach

Answer 2

Use a cup of bleach per load of laundry. Might take more than once but it will get them white again. Don't pour the bleach directly on the clothes though make sure it is in the water first and then add the clothes. Oh and wash and rinse on the highest temp your washer has.

Answer 3

Fill the washer with warm to hot water, put in bleach, alot and then put in your used to whites and let them soak for at least an hour and then start the wash cycle, be sure to add laundry detergent. If they still are not white, repeat, do not dry in the dryer til they are white. It may ake a few tries.....

Answer 4

If you don't want to use bleach, (if this problem happens with items that can't be bleached) there's a product called Rit Laundry Treatment Powder Color Remover. It's specially formulated to remove dye stains from whites washed by mistake with colored items. A package runs about $2.50 at most drug stores, Targets, etc.

Answer 5

Wash them in bleach

Answer 6

Hot water and bleach. You may need to let them soak or put them thru more than one cycle.

Answer 7

Wash them with bleach over and over again.

Answer 8

I would say bleach! They will get them pretty white, but you have to be careful because it weakens the fabric and you will get holes.

Answer 9

DUMP A GALLON OF PUREX IN; THAT SHOULD HELP. You'll probably have to buy a new pair after the bleach "eats" up your sock. Good luck!!!

Answer 10

Can't you use bleach? I'm a teenager, and usually don't do the laundry.
