Best Answer

Bleach will weaken the fabric, as I found out. Try this first. Old fashioned Dial soap, the yellow kind. Dampen the stain, rub the soap into the stain, then scrub between the hands with hot water. If it is a food or grease stain, it should come right out. Rinse, then wash normally. This method gets out stains that have been ironed in, even in synthetics.

How do you remove bleach stains from black clothes?

The unfortunate answer is that you don't. Most stains add a color on top of a piece of clothing that can be washed away. Bleach has removed the dye that made your shirt black in the first place. You may be able to redye part of your clothes, or reclaims them as bleached out grays, but you cannot remove the bleach stain. A black majic marker has always worked for me. It may be uneven before you wash it but is well blended after.


Will non chlorine bleach return white clothes to white after they were washed with pink?

No, only chlorine bleach (if you're lucky) can do that magic trick! Non-chlorine bleach (hydrogen peroxide and citric acid) is good at removing organic stains like grass or blood stains. It's not so effective against inorganic stains (pink ink.) On the other hand, if you accidentally put some beet juice in with the wash, non-chlorine bleach would work.


Solvent that removes grass stains?

To remove grass stains, use a stain remover that contains oxygen. Oxy Spray is a good stain remover that can be sprayed directly on a garment and then washed normally. Discount stores sell this product in a blue spray bottle for only $1.


How do you remove oil stain from shirt if the stain didn't remove after wash?

To remove oil stains you should pretreat the stain with a pretreatment spray or by rubbing it with liquid laundry detergent. Sometimes the heat of the dryer can set a stain. This means that if the stain was not removed after you washed it, and the shirt has dried, it may be stuck there.

Stain Removal Warning for Resin Patio Furniture ?

Resin patio sets are porous and naturally prone to staining. Frequent cleaning may help to prevent the situation from becoming hopeless. Stains that are deep and set in can be power-washed, bleached or cleaned with non-abrasive cleanser. One thing you shouldn't use is an abrasive cleanser such as a gritty powdered bleach cleaner. Although it may initially remove difficult stains, it will scratch the surface and make future stains deeper and harder to eliminate.

What causes brown clothes towels sheets etc to have weird faded tan spots after laundering?

Stains can change the color.Poorly made material can have flaws.The manufacturing process can cause threads to hold difference levels of dye, resulting in uneven dying.Inadvertant contact with bleach solutions. I have a number of shirts and pants with light spots because they were sitting on the floor to be washed near the washing machine and bleach was splashed out of the open machine while it filled.Some detergents are not good for colored materials, or may cause stains if put directly on the clothes rather than in the water.The number one reason for stains on bath towels is Clearasil. The active ingredient in acne medications will bleach out towels. Even if you have washed your hands first!! Get a white towel for your face so this doesn't happen.


Why does bleach turn your whites pink?

It was desind that way I guess,bleach was desind to get the stains out of things it doesn't nessarly turn things white, it gets stains out, you might have a shirt that is red because you spilt something on it and than washed it with bleach and it got the stain out and so it's back to white it doesn't turn things white. It takes the colour out of things. Like in hair it enters the hair and pulls all the colours out.
