When washing dye out of clothes, your objective is to remove the stain before it gets into the laundry. There are three steps:

  1. Blot as much of the stain as possible with a clean, dry paper towel. Rinse it as thoroughly as you can.
  2. Pretreat the stain using a commercial pretreatment. Popular brands of pretreatments in the United States are OxyClean and Shout. Follow the directions on the package.
  3. If steps one and two did not remove the stain, figure out if it is safe to bleach that article of clothing. If it is, soak the entire garment in bleach. If after 15 minutes of bleach soaking the stain remains, it is probably not going to wash out.
