turning pink clothes back into white!!

clarew

Ok, any os tips on getting all my lovely pink babgros and vests and bibs white again......the age of problem of a red tshirt dying all the rest. HELP needed asap, currently have a tub of wet pinkish clothes, don't know whether to dry them now, or try something to help before they dry!!!!

clarew - I recently had pink splodges on daughters' white and cream tops!! I bit the bullet and soaked them in a sink of warm water and bleach as they weren't new and I thought if it didn't work I'd just have to own up and buy them a new one each!! Anyway it did work but only try it if you really don't mind if it's not a success and then make sure you wash them thoroughly afterwards to get out any residue as they're babygros!

There is something called Remove available from Wilkinsons IIRC. I haven't tried it as my blue pillowcases came up white by soaking overnight in washing liquid then adding bleach 10 mins before I washed them again.

I tend to use bleach too. For white clothes with blood stains I would use neat bleach on the marks but in your case I would put some warm water in a bowl add some bleach and leave to soak. I always think that the garment is probably ruined anyway and the bleach can't make things any worse. However, every time Ive tried it it works. Of course, you can't do this with coloured clothes.

I had this problem last night with pillow cases. I'm recommending you do this mind, but I was them on the hottest wash and squirted a little bleach ion with the powder. They came out brilliant white!

I guess it depends on wether your items will survive a boil wash?
