How can I remove color dye stains from my clothes?
Question:From a previous wash of my clothes in the washer I used bleach. After I have taken the clothes out of the washer from a recent wash I noticed some of my clothes had pink color dye stains on it. Is there any way I can remove the stains? Thanks.
I also do not want to throw away the clothes that have stain on it.=)
Answers:
Dye Stains
Need detergent wash and bleach as safe, for fabric.
Cherry, blueberry
Color bleeding in wash (dye transfer)
Felt-tip pen (permanent ink-may not come out)
Grass
India ink
Kool-Aid
Mercurochrome
Mustard
Tempera paint
Dye stains are very difficult to remove. First,pretreat the stain with a heavy-duty liquid detergent, then rinse thoroughly. Soak the stained garment in a dilute solution of all-fabric powdered bleach.
If the stain persists, and the garment is white or colorfast, soak in a dilute solution of liquid chlorine bleach and water. Bleaching damage to colored garments is irreversible. To decide if a fabric can be bleached safely, use the test described previously. If the stain is not removed in 15 minutes, it cannot be removed by bleaching and further bleaching will only weaken the fabric.
Caution: Since bleaches can alter the color of a fabric as well as the stain, bleach the whole garment and do not try to bleach just a spot.
Good luck!
There is a fabulous product on the markey called Runaway Colour Run Remover. Its found in the laundry section in a satchet. Dylon also has another a great product called fabrcare.
