I borrowed my sister's white Omni-Shield Colombia jacket. The day before she wanted it returned, I had thrown it in the washer with other white articles of clothing, along with a bright pink wash cloth I failed to notice. I tried bleaching it out, tried a stain remover, and I tried Rit Dye Remover. Nothing worked, although the Rit Dye Remover did lighten the pink up. So instead of the jacket having bright pink blotches all over, it now has pale pink blotches.
The tag on the jacket reads; "Machine wash cold Permanent press, Powdered detergent, Rinse thoroughly, Wash separately, Do not bleach, Tumble dry permanent press low, Iron low, Do not use fabric softener, Do not dry clean. Shell: 100% Polyester, Lining: 100% Nylon, Mesh lining: 57% Recycled Polyester, 43% Polyester Exclusive of trimming"
I don't know what to do to get the jacket back to white, if anyone has any suggestions, tips, tricks, secret methods, anything that could possibly work, please let me know.

I brought a black pair of jeans and my partner thought he would try and help by doing some washing for me, but he put these black jeans in with a load of white clothes and now everything has got black stains on it. Any suggestions of how to get it all out?

I bought my son a White Assassins Creed Desmond hoodie and they said that I have to wash it by hand. It has red inside the hood of the hoodie. I just washed it again by hand and now the red from the hood has bled on the outside of the hoodie. What can I do or use to get that out?

How do I take out a greyish colour from my whites? The dress got caught up in my white wash by mistake and now has turned all my whites light grey.
My nephew is staying with us for the week. I washed his red towel with our clothes and it bled into the white parts of our colored clothes. I was wondering how I could get the pink out of the white parts without ruining the color on the rest of the clothing!
I washed a black bag that leaked dye onto my white clothes. How can I get the whites clean and get the dye out?
I washed some white clothing with my girlfriend's red dress, how do I remove the pink colouration from the clothing without destroying the other colours on my shirt?
I had a mishap with the washing machine. I accidentally washed something pink with an off-white tank top and jacket which are now slightly pink.
