White Clothes Are Now Pink

RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink Post By amber (Guest Post) (09/05/2008) Accidentally washed one of my brothers red shirts in with my cold delicates that are white. Now are pink but my clothes also have different colored writings on them. Does anyone know of a way to change it back to white?

The problem we have been experiencing lately is the red dye bleeding on the white and making the white pink, We've tried both rit whiteners and the fixer that is sold by the dying company to keep this from happening and have tried that new bleach from clorox. I wish there was a sure fire 1st, maybe even second wash "no pink" result.

He did and the white is now pink. The jacket was washed alone. We tried bleach and the pink is still there also the band around the bottom is brown instead of black. He paid $90 for this (dummy) and I will try anything just to get him off my back.

My underwear, my husbands and favorite white night shirts are now pink. I am soaking in Oxyclean overnight with bleach for colors. Any other idea if the clothes are still pink tomorrow? Sue from FL Answers: RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink Rit makes Color Remover. It comes in a little white box with purple lettering. You can buy it at Walmart. My husband had washed a brand new pair of dark blue jeans with my cream sheets, and I used this stuff. Everything came out. I think they make stuff specifically for whites turned pink. Hope that helps! By princslugi RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink I love a product called Iron Out, made specifically for removing rust from clothes. You can find it in the cleaning isle of your grocery or department store. By Tripleb RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink I swear by this recipe. One half cup of Clorox bleach and one half cup of powdered Cascade in a gallon of warm water. Soak overnight. By Sandy RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink Old trusty chlorine bleach works great for 100% cotton whites. You have to be careful and follow the directions, though, because fabric can be weakened if it comes in direct contact with undiluted bleach. By LizCar RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink Rit also makes two other products with descriptions like whiteners/brighteners . Be sure to buy Rit "Color Remover" mentioned by princslugi rather than these whiteners/brighteners They are probably not strong enough to get the pink out. I have used the color remover and had good success. By Claudia RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink Put the clothes in a basin with your usual detergent. Boil a cut up lemon in about 1 cup of water for a couple of minutes. Add it to the clothes and let them soak. They will come out bright and white. By Joanne RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink I am dealing with a 20x30 flag that faded. soaking is out of the question. It will get worse. It has to be done by hand I will try the lemon. Rit color remover will not work, because it will affect the red. Editor's Note: I recommend Oxiclean rather than the lemon juice, to get the white back to white and keep the red, red. By April -Swift Flag RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink Carbona Color Run Remover. Pink box, blue writing. You can find it at any store. By Alicia RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink Try soaking the clothing in cold water and salt. It seemed to help when my red dress with white flowers became a red dress with pink flowers. By Tina RE: White Clothes Are Now Pink Yeah, there is a product in the cleaner isle that is made for that. I think it was Tide. Check it out By Alicia Report Spam or Abuse
