Dye Bled On Khaki Pants

Archives: Request: Red Dye on Khaki Jeans Archived on 11/26/2007 I have khaki pants and red socks. (You can see it coming, right!) The socks went through washer and dryer attached to the pants. Is there a way to get that kind of stain out? Thanks!

(08/27/2007) By MartyD RE: Red Dye on Khaki Jeans By 'khaki', do you mean light tan or the green some people call khaki? If you mean the light tan, I have done the same thing-several times. Between me & my kids, it seems like we always have dye(red or blue), crayon or some other stain on our khakis. You can start with a weak solution of bleach water, lay the jeans flat & put the bleach water on the stain. If it doesn't go away in a few minutes, you can increase the bleach & try again. I only had a problem with one pair of pants, where the spot ended up a tiny bit lighter than the rest of the pants. I threw them in the wash cycle with soap & 1 c. bleach & they came out the same shade. I'm not usually so cautious anymore. I figure if I don't get the stain out, I can't do much to ruin them more. So I usually just use 1/2 bleach 1/2 water, or I just throw them in the washer with 3/4-1 c. bleach. You might want to start out with the minimal to be cautious though. And be careful not to ruin what you are wearing when you do this. (08/28/2007) By lyonpridej Report Spam or Abuse Request: Red Dye on Jeans Archived on 08/22/2007 How can I remove red dye from jeans? LucyT from York Answers: RE: Red Dye on Jeans 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.

I have re-washed several times and have not dried them and it won't budge. Thank you! (07/06/2007) By Belinda Report Spam or Abuse
