dying white clothes white

PlayGirl

is it possible to dye white jeans (98% cotten, 2% lycra) and white jogging bottoms (8o% cotten, 20% polyester) that have had pink dye run onto them in the wash (i should have done a white wash i know, i know) back white, as in will it cover up the stains...
the stains are not overly dark but they're dark enough to notice and therefore annoy me..
thanks..

If the fabric is originally white, and the clothes are completely white, use bleach


I always soak my whites [plain white shirts, tshirts, vest etc] in bleach and they come out blingin


But be warned, bleach removes ALL colour, so be careful. Are there any logos or stuff like that on the Jeans/bottoms?

yea you see that was my origional plan but i was told that the white was probably dyed white and that it would turn them a yellowish colour... what type of bleach do you mean?.. like toilet cleaner?..:o

I think you should forget about the clothes and get a life.

Head off to ****** for the weekend and wear each pair for one day. They will be so dirty coming back you wont be able to see the pink at all, problem solved!!!!

Dylon do a whitener, or you can get run remover that might do the trick. Try the supermarket or a pharmacy.

My friend got stains out using a 90 degree wash

it work but then again the damage she's doing to the environment...


Wouldn't bleach make clothes an off-white (devoid of any colour?) not the brilliant white the clothes would have been.
