How to take red color stains out from clothes?
Question:Just a little portion of my child's bib had a red lining to it. The color from the lining made pink spots on the most beautiful white even dark pink dresses washed along with that bib.really desperate to get those nasty stains out any way possible. I tried soaking them in Oxy-Clean but no change whatsoever. PLEASE HELP! I'm going on vacation soon and need to get rid of these stains as soon as possible. Any suggestions?
Answers:
I use Simple Green for absolutely everything. Spray it on well,
let it sit and soak itself in, then wash it. If you have previously dried the stains in a dryer it may be set-in.
to take the red stains out of shirts, you could try club soda, liquid detergent, or the magic eraser for clothes.
soak in napisan overnight then wash as usual
Hopefully you haven't put these things thru the dryer yet. Heat tends to set the stains.
If you can find it Goop handcleaner (like mechanics use) works. I used it to get black fade stains off of a pink jacket. Just rub it in and rewash like regular laundry. You may find it in the automotive dept. at Wal-Mart or your local auto parts store.
Good luck
The dye bled onto the rest of your items. There is really nothing you can do about it now. However for future reference, try using Shout Color Catcher sheets. These sheets, similar in size to dryer sheets, go in the wash and "catch" loose dyes from other items and prevents them from depositing themselves on other clothing.
