Mixed color fabrics were stained by bleeding from a checkered table cloth during its first wash. I caught this happening and immediately removed the table cloth. I rinsed rinsed the clothing that was affected. I used two scoops of Oxiclean. I was afraid of making it worse, so I stopped to do some internet research. What should I do?

I have a very messy daughter who stains every top she wears. I have used the oxi-clean vesatile brand and mixed it in my sink or for longer soaking I mixed it in a bucket. I used two scoops along with my regular detergent in hot water and soaked the clothes overnight. I then scrubbed with a toothbrush or laundry brush and rewashed. The stains come out every time. I have used it on laundry such as yours where colors bled and had the same results. If you have a top load washer and can soak the whole load overnight and rewash, it should clean right up. It has never faded my clothes and has even gotten out old mud stains on clothes I bought at rummages. Oxi-Clean is the best for all kinds of stains. Good Luck

Request: Stains on Clothing from Dye Transferring in the Wash

Archived on 09/15/2009

I washed a red and white dress. The red bled on the white. How can I get the white back to white?

You could try to rewash the dress and use a product called Color Catcher made by Shout. It collects extra dye in the wash. It would have prevented the bleeding, just don't know if it's going to help now, but it's a product that I always have on hand and you can reuse the sheets several times over. (06/26/2009)

I accidentally dyed my husbands pants by washing them with a green blanket. How do I get the green stain out of beige pants?

Try using hydrogen peroxide I did the same thing with my sons khakis but with red fading. Good Luck to us all. (12/18/2006)
