What do I do if my laundry bleeds?

best stain removercleaning suppliesjanitorial suppliesremoving stains

I bought a white shirt with a small red ribbon. The ribbon is not removable, so, not really thinking well, I threw the shirt in with my light stuff. The red ribbon bled all over the white shirt and several other articles of clothing. Is there anything I can do to treat the items it bled on? Most of the items are NOT white, so bleach is out of the question. I tried running them through the wash with a stain stick applied to all of the spots, but that didn’t work to well. Are my clothes doomed?

    I would probably kill it before i wash/wear it

    fur is nice, but it looks better off the animal :)

    If your laundry bleeds I would suggest a band aid that will stick to cloth.

    Yes.
    Go shopping.

    Put a band aid on it quick!

    Try Oxy Clean, the powder or the spray. Make sure you don’t put it in the dryer until the stains are gone or they will set in.

    the white ones you can bleach

    the other stuff is doomed (or you could wear them and claim a new look)

    try to go to the store and claim your loss there (its stupid that the red label in a white shirt makes the white shirt red)

    Try using Rit. You can buy it at the grocery store or any other store near the laundry soaps. I’ve used it to get pink out of my whites.
    I have a cream colored tank with brown leather strings woven in it. The first time I washed it the dye came out of the leather and got all over the shirt. I used Rit for colored clothing. It worked. Got the stain out of the shirt and now I just remove the leather strips before I wash it. (the strips weren’t removable before, but I cut the beads off and now they are!)
    Good luck.
    P.S. Rit is NOT a bleach.
