What to do if things are stained after washing

You bought and decided after wearing wash white t-shirt, but somehow by chance there was a colored thing with her in the typewriter, and your new thing and other white things were stained during washing. How to bleach them? So what's now?

We understand your panic, but we want to reassure you right away: almost every housewife has situations when things are stained after washing. Today, there are many ways to eliminate this trouble at home. Here we will analyze all possible ways to bleach damaged things.

What clothes are dyed

Before proceeding with the study of ways to eliminate this trouble, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the information that will help you avoid mistakes in the future.

Things of different colors can shed and color not only white things, but also other colored clothes with their color. For example, if you wash a light blue T-shirt with red jeans, then 99% that after washing your blue T-shirt will be a different shade. Therefore, it is advisable to wash clothes by color in general, but if you don’t have a lot of clothes, then you should pay attention to the following:

  • All new clothes are more prone to shedding during washing. - therefore, it is best to wash new clothes, especially bright ones for the first time, separately from other things. Not only white, but also colored clothes can be dyed.
  • Whites should always be washed separately from coloreds. - even if the colored things are no longer new and have faded for a long time, it is still better to refrain from such experiments. This rule applies especially washing cotton clothes.
  • Even a small color insert can color things in the wash. - it happens that a small red collar stains other clothes of lighter colors.
  • When washing in hot water, things are more susceptible to coloring. - it is worth paying special attention to this and when washing at a high temperature, separate the laundry more carefully by color.

If you follow these simple rules, then you will not have a situation where things are dyed during washing and you urgently need to do something. But if you are already in this situation, then let's urgently solve the problem.

By the way, if your clothes are not only dyed after washing, but also “shrink”, then on our website you can also find out how to stretch a shrunken thing to its previous size.

Special color restoration products

Manufacturers of detergents and laundry products have long understood that such problems are not uncommon and have developed special products that restore the color of things after a “wrong” wash.

One of these means is "Antilin" - This is a tool that is specifically designed to restore the color of fabrics.
Antilin
If you read reviews about this tool, you can find both positive and negative. And this is understandable, because everything is very individual. If you use the product immediately after a “wrong” wash, then the chances of restoring the color are much greater than if a long time passes and the paint is well absorbed into the fibers of the fabric.

There are a lot of similar things on the market, in particular, various stain removers can cope with such tasks.

Also, if washed white clothes dyed, then you can, without delay, take the damaged item and wash it with bleach.

If you do everything quickly, then the probability of bleaching the thing is quite high.

Folk ways to restore dyed things after washing

While manufacturers were inventing remedies for this problem, the housewives themselves took the initiative into their own hands and found a bunch of different ways that help restore color if the fabric is stained during washing, and now we will analyze them in order.

ammonia or hydrogen peroxide

This is one of the most common ways to remove stains after "dyeing clothes."
ammonia or hydrogen peroxide
Type in a metal basin or bucket 4 liters of water. Take one teaspoon of ammonia or two tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and add it to the water. Well, stir everything and put there just spoiled things. Next, you need to put the container on the stove and heat the water to a boil. You need to boil things in this solution for an hour, after which the “extra” paint should dissolve in water and your things will return to their former color.

starch, salt, citric acid

Another way from folk art is after your washed clothes have been dyed, wash them again with powder at a high temperature or boil them. Then we make the next "potion". We mix everything in equal proportions, one tablespoon each: citric acid, starch, salt and chopped laundry soap.
starch, salt, citric acid
We mix it all, adding a little water to get a viscous consistency.Next, we take the spoiled clothes and put this “potion” on the inside of the stains and leave it like that for 12 hours. After this time, the clothes should be rinsed and washed again.

Do not exceed the recommended doses of the above substances, so as not to spoil the thing completely.

If not one method suits you, then we are very sorry, but we remind you that a thing can live a second life, for example, as home clothes or clothes for summer cottages.

For 4 liters of water, 3 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide, mix. Put things there, bring to a boil, boil for an hour. Half an hour after it boiled, add another 3 tablespoons of peroxide.When boiled very generously rub with laundry soap, wash a little like this, and then, without washing off the soap, put it in the washing machine. Together with the laundry, throw a piece of the remaining soap into the drum and wash several times at a temperature of 40 degrees. Then wash the thing as usual with washing powder so that the smell of laundry soap disappears. It helped me, things became like new.

Thanks for the advice on boiling and peroxide. Helped me. Jeans saved!!!!! Hurray!!!

Thanks for the hydrogen peroxide recipe!
The experiment has not yet been completed, but the water has already taken on the color in which the blouse was dyed.

Did you mix citric acid, starch, soap and salt? Did the smell bother you? The stench is wild and very unpleasant. This mass is oily. She barely washed her hands. I was even afraid to smear the painted places with this muck.

I'm already afraid to experiment with peroxide. Terribly upset((

Oh thanks for the antilin! Saved my favorite dress!!! Great and fast tool! Now I'm also reanimating the blouse) .

Tell me, if 2-3 days have passed since the damage to the thing, will the peroxide method work?

Can you please tell me where you bought antilin?

Tell me if the dress is black and white. Should I try boiling?

Girls share their way. I accidentally washed my bright pink panties with a warm light gray sweatshirt, didn’t hang up my underwear at night, and in the morning I rushed off to work forgetting about it, and when I returned from work in the evening, I found my favorite sweatshirt with huge stains potassium permanganate colors everywhere. Of course, she was terribly upset and immediately ran to the Internet to look for ways to fix this misunderstanding. I thought honestly to say that nothing would save my sweater, the spots were too bright, and too big.I read the method with peroxide and ammonia, but only peroxide turned out to be at home (and that half of the bottle). And deciding that in any case it would not be worse, she went to the kitchen to boil water. Since it says to add part of the peroxide first and another part a little later, I divided half of my bottle into 2 parts and added the first part to the pan. And lo and behold!!! After 5 minutes, the spots began to lighten, and after 15 minutes they disappeared completely !!! dyed the water pink. As a result, I spent 1/4 bottle of peroxide on the whole procedure, I didn’t have to add the second part, and about 15-20 minutes of boiling time. Maybe my stain went away so quickly because it was fresh and the sweater didn’t even have time to dry, I don’t know that anymore. Nevertheless, I did not have to boil for an hour and only one peroxide was enough. Now the blouse is already rinsing in the washing machine. I hope my method will be useful to you))))))

Tell me please, if the jacket is painted bright turquoise from socks, will the method with peroxide help?

Washed my daughter's school blouse with her white dress, it has a pink insert. I washed the dress a hundred times, the insert did not fade, but then I took it and dyed the blouse and dress pink. Already 2 hours have passed, soaked in whiteness………… I’m waiting, it won’t help………….. The pharmacy is far away, I can’t go for peroxide…….

Tell me how to save a bathing suit! Accidentally put a swimsuit (white with black flowers), with children's things at 60 degrees! When I got it out of the machine, it turned gray, gloomy! I washed it again at 30 degrees separately, with powder for white, but it didn’t get any better! What can be done in this case?

Thank you so much for your advice, all the clothes turned dirty green, I thought it was impossible to get rid of it, the peroxide helped!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, 10,000,000 times thank you!!!!

It didn’t help. I soaked a yellow children’s sweater in Vanish and it became covered with red spots.

I washed a black knitted dress with white inserts in the form of squares in the washing machine at 60 ° and the dress faded, the white squares turned gray, a nightmare! I read the recommendations here and decided to boil the dress with hydrogen peroxide - it didn’t help, then with ammonia .... oh, God, and the dress has generally become “put out the light”! (((It’s a pity, I’ll take it to the trash. And in general I concluded that now delicate things should only be washed at 30 ° - 40 °

Works well with laundry soap! Especially light things become snow-white!!!
Remember how our mothers and grandmothers used to wash their hands with household soap .. Things were washed much better and were much cleaner and not washed

To my joy, I found salvation in the unexpected!))) I re-read a lot, but since there was nothing like that at home, I decided to try my dad's usual hand paste after work. Once again, she just saves my things! Foolishly, she threw on a pink dress, a light-colored T-shirt with a print, and a light-colored striped dress. I noticed a day later that everything was stained when the clothes dried and lay in my closet.It brought out pink spots very simply, applied the paste to these places, rubbed it in my hands under water and that's it! Steadstvo is called so .. pasta "AUTOmaster" Maybe my experience will help someone.

Saved my white T-shirt after it was dyed pink. Wife washed with a new duvet cover. Immediately after washing, I washed it with laundry soap 7 times, each time rinsing it to clear water in a basin. After adding 4 covers of whiteness to warm water and left to sour for 20 minutes. Water 5 cm from the bottom, standard basin.

Most likely, the described methods only work on cotton items, unfortunately ..
