My husband just got a brand new white dress shirt. While he was getting dressed, he noticed that he got a tiny spot of blood on his collar from shaving. He didn't want to change, so I took him in the bathroom and dabbed it with peroxide, which got the blood right out. The problem is that the area that I put the peroxide on, is now yellow. I tried shout, oxiclean and even the combination of dishwashing soap, bleach, and hot water. The shirt says to only use non-chlorine bleach, but the rest of the shirt in super white, it's just the spot that I put peroxide on. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have never heard of Dart. Where do you get it and who makes it? I have the yellow stain from peroxide and the sun on a white dress shirt and I cannot get it out.

Try soaking the fabric in all fabric bleach. I used Dart. It got out the peroxide stains.

I used "Oxyclean" non-clhorine bleach stain remover (hydrogen peroxide based) to take a small stain out of a white shirt. Thought I had rinced it out and but later had yellow spots in front of the shirt. I didn't realize that the unwashed residue from the oxyclean would oxidize in the sun and turn yellow.

After doing several suggested treatments, I finally threw it in the wash and soaked it overnight with about a 1/2 c. of bleach in a small load of water. I did this the first night and it almost came out, but there was still a slight yellow spot. The second time I only set it in the bleach water for about 1 hour and then rubbed into the fabric Gain detergent and let it sit out for about 1/2 hour. Put it through the wash again and the stain is gone. A lot of time involved, but it was an expensive shirt and it had only been worn once.

Here's what worked of me. I dribbled some peroxide on a favorite white cotton cami to get out perspiration stains and hung it out on the pool towel rack, thinking Florida sun would help. Well it yellowed.

I soaked it for five days in regular detergent, I used Tide and cold water, changing the water and soap every day until it came out. And it did. It's pure white now!

It's like bleach on white laminate countertops, it will come out eventually with soap and water. Patience is the key.

I used peroxide on white shirts to remove yellow stains. I threw them in the laundry basket with my other whites. The whites that came in contact with the hydrogen peroxide now have yellow stains where they made contact. I have tried stain removers, chlorine pens, etc. Any suggestions?

Argh! I just did the same thing - I don't think blood has anyting to do with it. I put hydrogen peroxide on a white skirt with a few rust stains and where the H.P. was it all turned yellow as I left it in the sun to dry. I am soaking it in bleach - but no luck yet. I'll try the whitening agent and see if that works - if not, I'll have to dye the piece.

i did the same thing to a pillowcase. It had a small bit of blood on it, and made it through the washer and dryer before I noticed it was set in. So I soaked the whole thing in hydrogen peroxide overnight and it came out beautifully. Then I set it out to dry (so it wouldn't mold before I ran it through a load of whites. The side that faced the window and sunshine turned ALL YELLOW! I know it isn't left-over blood because there wasn't that much in the first place.

My son, (14 years old) just came back from football
camp. Every cloting item that was white is now either brown or black.
Is there anything I cn do, or should I use these items as rags?

Same thing happened to me. I think if the hydrogen peroxide is not rinsed out of the fabric soon after treating a stain, it turns yellow. I hoped bleach might work, I just stained my favorite white skirt today. Please post if you were able to remove the yellow. Good luck!

The yellow sounds like you still have blood in the material. They have some whitening agents that are sold in uniform shops (where they sell white nursing uniforms) to keep uniforms from turning yellow from bleaching, etc. I don't know the name of the stuff, but if you will call a nursing uniform shop, I am sure they will tell you what it is.

try putting peroxide on the yellowed spot. If it foams, there is still residual blood material. Be sure to rinse the area very very well with cool water, then launder.

That should do it.
