Jeans bled onto shirt - how can I remove the dye?
Permalink Closed

I washed a new pair of jeans, but of course I forgot to add one of those color-catcher sheets to the wash, and they bled all over one of my favorite tops. I've since rewashed the shirt (once with non-chlorine bleach, once with spray n wash), but the stain is still there.

Is there anything that will remove the stain, or is it set in there? Thanks!

gosh, I don't know. even though it's dye, maybe an over night soak in oxy clean could work?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think it's set in your top.  This happened to me once and my jeans ruined tops, tanks, socks, and underwear - stained them all blue.  I tried washing again, oxyclean, bleach, etc and it never came out :(

I think you're right. no I tried soaking it in oxiclean overnight and it didn't work. I'm going to try one more thing - some dye remover from rit, but I'm afraid that prob. won't work. At least it's on the neckline and shoulder - maybe my hair will cover it? Stupid jeans!! furious I guess that will teach me to be more careful next time.
