Threw it in the washing machine and the navy dye ran onto the white. :(( Was so upset as it was a Brand New piece! Chanced upon this site yesterday and tried it straight when I got home last night. I put the blue end in another pail, and soak the white top part in boiling water + lots of bleach (prob not so much is needed, but I wanted results). Soak it for 3 hours.. and the blue stains are gone! Wheeee. Thanks a mil :) Posted on 01/19/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains from Color From New Clothing Bleeding By scootergal (Guest Post) Thank you! I tried the boiled water with small amount of Bleach, it's just like a Magic! Not back to 100% of the original, but good enough and able to wear them again when go out. Posted on 01/12/2009 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains from Color From New Clothing Bleeding By Laverne (Guest Post) I bought a top from Ann Taylor that is a 100% cotton knit and is a red & white print. I followed the washing directions on the tag hand washing it in cold water but the red ran into the white and is now pink. Any suggestions on how to make the white white again and not pink? I hate to throw it away after wearing it only once.

I had accidentally washed a blue pair of socks with my whites. I thought that about 9 tank tops, 2 dish towels and a number of other things were simply ruined. I tried the boiling water/bleach suggestion and was amazed. Kept each item in for about 1 minute and they were sparkling white. In fact, just for the heck of it, I tried a white pillow case that was somewhat dingy. It looked like new. Whoever came up with this is genius.

The boiling water and small amount of bleach definitely works. Thank you very much.

One is white with black trim, the other is solid yellow and the shorts are also yellow. The other shirt is white with a design of lots of colors. A navy shirt faded on them and I can't get the blue splotches out. Can the bleach method be used here on these types of clothes? Posted on 12/01/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains from Color From New Clothing Bleeding By WerdNerd (Guest Post) I washed my brand new Talbot's light khaki's with new rust colored place mats. DANG! I tried everything from oxyclean to RIT color remover. Nothing worked. I read some of these comments about bleach and boiling water. There were no instructions, so as a last resort, I dumped about a 1/4 cup of bleach into about 5 quarts of water. I boiled them right in the middle of preparing Thanksgiving dinner. NO KIDDING! The pants weren't in the water a minute before I could see that the pink tint was GONE!! Absolutely gone. I took them out right away. Again, they were exactly the color they were when I bought them! I then washed and dried them as I would regularly. They look fantastic!! Thanks for the idea!

Since the stain has since dried can I still wash it with the oxyclean to get it out or is that just a waste? Please help. I love these sheets!

The pink one has white on it also. They both now have a pink tint all over. How can I get this out without ruining the other part of the shirts? Any help would be great! Editor's Note: For similar stains, I've used oxiclean. It did a good job removing red embroidery thread dye from a white shirt. Worth a try.

Today morning I wash it in laundry with an almost red shirt. It bled its color and made my white shirt pink. My heart almost stopped. Right now I have it in my bathtub with Oxiclean. I'm nervous. Hopefully it will work! Posted on 09/28/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains from Color From Clothing Bleeding By Mary.

Posted on 09/14/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains from Color From New Clothing Bleeding By Dorothy (Guest Post) In years past, good colored clothes (American made) didn't bleed onto others or even a white collar on a dark t-shirt which just happened to me. Is it because all our clothes are made in India, China, Bangladesh, Taiwan, etc., etc.? Do they not know how to dye clothes properly and if not I wonder why manufacturers of even very expensive clothing are having their clothes made in a foreign country. This past year, everything I buy seems to bleed onto something else. When a garment says :"wash with like colors, what does that mean? With the white collar or the dark shirt? Even white knits with colored trim such as Nike, Liz Claiborne, and other popular brands all fade on themselves! This has got to be poor manufacturing practices. Who decided America should go global anyway? No one asked me.

My white undergarments along with the white blouse turned very grey and dingy. I knew of a product I used years ago to get color-bleeding out, but didn't want to spend the $$$. Then I found this site with the idea of bleach and boiling water. I dipped the blouse in, and voila! it was ultra-brite again. As were the undergarments. Great idea that 'saved' my white work outfit.

Washed a new off-white shirt with navy pinstripes alongside a new pair of dark jeans. Came out of wash with dark blue blotches all over the shirt like an ink leak (My own fault really). Bought a color-run fixing product immediately and washed again following instructions - 0% success! Found your comments above in a panic and tried the boiling water and bleach suggestion! Worked perfectly!. I used ordinary household think bleach and dipped each blotch on the shirt into the water for about a minute. Thanks so much for the suggestion!

What can I do to remove the color runs from the white parts? Posted on 07/07/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains from Color From New Clothing Bleeding By Socalgail (2) Contact I put new jeans from Talbots in a load of colored clothing. Most of the colors were very dark, like the jeans. Two exceptions were an old cotton nighty that was white with a flower print and a pink cotton shirt. The dye from the new jeans bled onto a very dark orange shirt, onto the pink shirt and dyed the nighty light blue. It may have bled onto the other dark clothing but it did not show up. I decided to try out the advice here with a measure of common sense. I used the bleach in boiling water technique on the basically white nightie with good results. I bought Oxiclean at Costco and tried their soak instructions on the orange shirt. The color brightened considerably and the blue smudges faded almost to the point of not being visible unless you were specifically looking for them. The Oxiclean did not really help the blue on the lighter pink. So I decided to try the boiling water and bleach. This worked but with some reservations. I should have moved the shirt around a bit since some of the pink also got bleached out but unevenly. Most of the blue came out and I was OK with the result since this is a shirt for hanging out. Given this experience, I would NOT try the chlorine bleach on a dark color. It will ruin the fabric. The other happy outcome is that I found I really liked the Oxiclean - it brightened the garments, it is cheaper than non-chlorine Clorox, and it left the clothes smelling like they had been fresh air dried. Finally, I am resolved to always wash new jeans, or any dark colored garment, a few times by themselves to make sure this never happens again! Posted on 06/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse Love the internet By (Guest Post) I had an expensive jacket from Chicos that I got a couple of years ago. White cotton with colored embroidery. Now, don't ask me why I spent a chunk of $$ on the jacket and wouldn't spring for dry cleaning, but ... The colors ran. I wore it just a little last summer, figuring the color smears weren't that noticeable. This spring, it bugged me, so I went searching for a solution. Tested the near-boiling water with both color-safe bleach and Oxy Clean. The Oxyclean worked much better. Put the jacket in a sink with warm water, added the Oxy-clean to the pot of hot water then dumped it on. Stirred it around with a wooded spoon for a minute or two, then ran it through a cold rinse cycle in the machine. All better! It looks like the embroidery is still just about as colorful. Thanks to everybody for the ideas!

The navy bled into a yellow t-shirt and a white t-shirt. I used the bleach and almost boiling water technique. (brought a pot of water to a near boil, added about 1/4 c bleach and dipped the t-shirts in the pot, took out quickly and rinsed.) The navy dye came out of the yellow and white t-shirts immediately. Amazing! Thanks so much!

I was trying to get brownie batter off the white and blue (navy) rug in the kitchen. Put it in with the whites (I had added ammonia to brighten, no bleach) didn't think it would hurt the blue. I had successfully tie dyed and entire load of whites. I "cooked" the entire load of whites, worked like a charm, about 2-3 mins per garmet! Fantastic, I'll never ruin my husbands long sleeve tee's again (there were 3 brand new ones in the load). Thanks! This was fabulous.

Everything I found was talking about white stuff. Then I went to Winn-Dixie of all places (gags), and guess what? There in the laundry detergent isle a light was brightly shining from a little 2.6 oz pink and blue box. CARBONA COLOR RUN REMOVER! Does not contain bleach, is able to remove unwanted dye stains from COLORED garments! I think I fainted. After picking myself back up, I danced up and down the isles.

However, I also want to say that I would advise AGAINST using this product with colored clothing- it ruined my favorite pair of pink juicy sweats, and completely bleached out another pair of pants. But, be the RIT or the pants, they actually turned back to their original color after being turned pink by the RIT and then exposed to air...I have no idea if this was just that pair of pants and I got super lucky, but they are good as new thanks to air!!!

Posted on 05/15/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains from Color From New Clothing Bleeding By MrsA1126 (7) Profile Contact Depending on the fabric and if the shirt is pure white and how long the stain has been sitting, this old school remedy works unless the shirt is silk and multicolor and the stain is a year old. It actually should be done the moment you find the stain but give it a shot. Fill a pot big enough to hold the shirt fill the pot with water and heat it on the stove to warm and almost boiling then shut the flame off and add some bleach to the water 1/2 cup or so and stir it in. Then place the shirt in the pot and stir the shirt around the stain should disappear, then rinse the shirt in cold water ring it out and put it through the wash alone with no other clothes. It should be fine. Good luck! Posted on 04/20/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse
