If it is white you can bleach it in a solution of Bleach and water, If not Scrub at the stain using OXYACTION/ NAPISAN or try repeatedly washing it… On its own or with items of the same colour to dye it back.

wow. wrong again, but thanks for playing! turns out simple rubbing alcohol lifted the dye right out without discoloration or damage to the imported fabric! score!

Question by lls7515: Need to remove dye transferred from one garment to another.?
Somehow, dye from a dark article of clothing (washed many times) got onto 2 pieces of light clothing (also washed many times in the same load). Any tips on removing the darker dye without ruining the light articles of clothing?

I’ve had a lot of luck with oxy clean. soak entire garment, because it can cause slight lightening if you do a spot. A low concentration in a bucket or sink full of water overnight…Making a concentrated paste works wonders on spots but you need to be careful not to leave it too long, like not more than 10 minutes. Use cold water, and a little elbow grease, no matter what product you use. I found that a cleaner called “greased Lightning” works great on lots of stains, but I haven’t used it on dye transfers.

Question by SomeGuyOnTheNet: How do i remove dye from silk accidentally transferred from other fabric?
I tried to remove two spots on a white (actually very light ivory) silk dalmatic. I just grabbed the first thing I saw which was a green microfiber cloth. I used isopropyl alcohol, which by itself can be a decent cleaning agent. It transferred dye to the silk garment. I immediately took water and hand soap to it with minimal if any effect. I’m freaking out.

Stop. Consult a textile conservationist. Don’t do any more until you know what you’re really dealing with.

DO NOT USE CHLORINE BLEACH! The silk will dissolve.

Question by anibas42: How do i remove clothes dye that got to garments from washing mixed colours/?

Best answer:

Answer by Kim C
bummer. if it is white clothing with spots, i have used bleach directly to the area, sometimes you may need to use a q-tip for a small/tight spot. but you must wash or at least rinse within a few minutes. for colored clothing, try dry bleach. sorry to say. if these hints don’t work, throw them away. hope this helps.
