The clothes were washed in cold water. The blue dye ran from a pair of cotton pants, and stained the rest of my clothes, most of which were light in colour. I've washed them a second time, minus the pants, with extra liquid soap and bleach, with no change.Blue dye ran from a pair of pants during the wash, and left blotchy stains all over my other clothes. Help?
Do not put the stained items into the dryer( it will permanently set the dye) . Get a bottle of Rit Dye remover, it may strip more of the base color of the garment, but it is better than no hope. Follow the directions on the bottle or package. It come in liquid and a powder.
Most large grocery stores have it , or Walmart.Blue dye ran from a pair of pants during the wash, and left blotchy stains all over my other clothes. Help?
What you need is a resident dye stripper. You can find it at most grocery stores near the chlorine and other wash products. You just soak your clothes in it and it removes dye that is not mordant set. You might inquire about resident dye stripper at your dry cleaners.
You can buy a specific product for dye that has run into other clothes. I cant remember the correct name of it, but it is made by a brand called Dylon. I know there are other brands that make a similar product also. It removes the dye that has run.
