Dye Bled On Khaki Pants
I washed a pair of Khaki pants accidentally with a rust colored shirt. The shirt bled in splotches on the pants, how do I get it out?

See if the khaki pants are colorfast--if they are, you can wash or soak them in bleach--diluted, of course. Turn the pants inside out and find an inconspicuous spot to test--a pocket or waistband. Put a teaspoon of bleach in 2 cups of water, then dab on some bleach solution on a spot and wait 2 minutes. If nothing happens to the khaki, it is colorfast. If the spot bleaches out it's not safe to bleach the entire garment.

Is it actual dye or did something bleed onto them? I've had some luck soaking the item in hot water with a scoop of Oxiclean. (01/09/2007)

I put a cheap colored red beach towel in with jeans and some gray t-shirts. Everything is pink, UGH! I have re-washed several times and have not dried them and it won't budge.
