Tarnation! I accidentally put in a yellow T shirt with my whites?
Question:And now they are all yellowy. How can I get them back to their original pristine white?
Thanks in Advance...
Answers:
Below is a snippet from a website I found for you:
Bluette ($12 for 12 pints, 800-338-2329 to order). This bluing agent, which is added to the wash cycle, enhances white (and light-colored) clothes, making them appear brighter and whiter. Bluette won't remove or lighten stains, but it can restore dingy or yellowed whites.
here's another tip:
Bleeding of Colors: Your red shirt got mixed in with other clothes and ruined them? First off, DON'T DRY THEM! Wash again with regular detergent and color-safe bleach. If that didn't work, Rit, the makers of clothes dye, makes a color remover that works wonders and doesn't cost much. To prevent bleeding in the first place, wash in cold water; I also use a cup of salt OR a scoop of Oxi Clean with every load.
I did a web search for "laundry tips for yellowed whites" and those were two of the first few pages that popped up.
Good luck!!
You cant! Except maybe with bleach... but this may damage your cloth
Go the bleach!
go to the supermarket, there are loads of products to get rid of the colour in your whites
I accidentely put a purple cotton thing in with my towels the other day, and now, finally, ALL my towels are color coordinated!
Anway, back to you. Best to buy new t-shirts, I am afraid. There is stuff you can buy that you put in with th e laundry and that should get out the discoloration, but you can save yourself the money and the trouble because it doesn't work.
The clothes that have now turnt yellow .dye white agin :)
But if yu need to dye them any other color,say. green.Always dye them white first so it becomes your base .
If they are pure white, soak in bleach, or clorox white for about a day, if they aint pure white soak in ariel detergent, then dry under direct sunlight.
u can't except if u buy new clothes or use bleach
