Laundry Help!!

Started by Heather, author of Life In A Small Town 1/13/2010 9:54:08 AM
My sweet sweet husband did the laundry while I was out of town to help me out.  Well he accidentally put a few (8) of my white college t-shirts in with the darks.  Well as you could imagine, the white t-shirts are now blue.  How in the world can I get them to be white again. They all have a logo on them so bleach will not work.  Help!!!

Maybe you could just try washing one with bleach to see what happens to the logo? Bless your husband's heart! :)

I know!  He felt so bad...I told him I could fix it and that it wasn't a problem.  Ha!

Oxiclean?

I have never used it but someone else suggested it to me.  Has anyone used it?  And does it work for that?

There is a Rit product called dye remover. It is sold at grocery stores in the laundry products isle. I used it after I stupidly washed a red bath rug with a cream one. It worked great! The only thing about your situation is that it may also remove the dye from the logos. But if they are gone anyway it may be worth a try. It costs about $2. Hope that helps.

I don't have a tip of the top of my head, but the woman who writes the "Queen of Clean" books has some amazing ideas for stuff just like that (impossible stains, ruined shirts, etc).

You might try looking her up.

Borax will also work.

I accidentally did this to my son's new gray sweatshirt last week by washing it with his blue school tote bag.  I sprayed oxiclean onto the blue areas and it washed away!!!

I vote for soaking it in oxiclean!

My husband washed my white skirt with a red towel and it dyed my skirt red. I soaked the skirt in oxyclean for a few days and washed it and it's whiter than it was before.
