Color Bleeding Stain Removal
To remove stains caused from dyes leeching from one article of clothing to another, you can purchase a product that is designed specifically for this purpose. It is called Rit Dye Fabric Treatment - Powder Color Remover and is available everywhere that you can buy fabric dyes. Soak in the color remover, then launder as usual ;)
Thats going to be difficult. Most detergents are engineered to ignore pigment. I suggest you try a pure soap, wet the clothes and smear the soap all over it. soak the clothes in this soap and water. Leave it over night. Make sure the water is cold. If you're lucky the staining happened in cold water and the pigment should come out easily.
try using bleach.
soak it with whitener
bleach
To whiten whites:
Add one cup of Hydrogen Peroxide to a load of whites and wash as normal.
For items already stained mix a quarter cup of Cascade in a bucket of hot, hot water soak the garments in the mixture to whiten whites.
Try not to over dry white items. Use a lower temperature setting as the higher settings can yellow whites.
Also, some liquid fabric softeners can cause yellowing in white fabrics if not rinsed out well.
Hope this helps.
Maybe Oxy Clean? Try it.
