Removing Pink Dye Stains (Not Too Bad, Thankfully) From A White Cotton Shirt?
Options

I'm sure this is an old, very popular topic, but I've tried searching threads and not came up with similar (found oil-like stains, stains on jeans, etc).
I put a new, hot pink set of undies in the wash with whites by mistake, and my boyf is fizzing mad that his white cotton shirt has pink dye marks on it (just a few "dots" over his shirt). Yes, I know....
My thoughts are: maybe to try dabbing a liquid detergent (with bleach)? Or a kitchen spray with bleach, slightly diluted on it? Or are those solutions too harsh?
Thank you for any suggestions

Ace Fabric bleach for for this job. Ace will not interfere with the whiteness of the shirt. in fact it never interferes with colours yet removes the stains on garments.
You could also try OX, not sure of the spelling but I know you can get it in Tesco, Ace Fabric bleach I am able to get at Pounland.
Hope this helps...0 -

Wow, it worked, and boyf is in a good mood again. Thank you very much
Bunged in some shirts that looked greyish and it's given them a good brightening too.0
