What Causes The Color to Bleed?
Dyeing isn’t a lasting solution. Colored dyes have a propensity to run when washed if improperly applied or not tightly attached to the cloth. People often think that some colors are more likely to run than others. But the fabric decides if a piece of clothing will leak dye.
The stain was used after the garment was purchased, home-dyed garments are highly prone to running.
How to Get Rid of Color Stains
The most straightforward technique to remove color stains from clothing is to catch them when they are “hot” or as quickly as possible! Check that the machine hasn’t been contaminated; if the stain is highly severe. Try running a quick rinse to remove any color residue and rinsing your laundry basket to avoid further shame.
If the stain is light to medium, rewash it immediately with a detergent made for stains, like Breeze Stain Action. Please read and follow any instructions on the label. Test the product on a small area before using it on the whole stain.
Alternatively, white vinegar may be used to erase the color stain. Well stirred one cup of white vinegar in a pail of cold water, then rinse the soiled clothing. Check the vinegar’s impact on a tiny corner of the cloth; if the garment is colored, the vinegar may react with the natural dye.
Another possibility is to use oxygen bleach. Use gloves and goggles to avoid getting bleach on exposed skin when working with bleach. Consider applying 3% hydrogen peroxide for more severe stains. Rinse as directed above.
