use non-chlorine bleach!!!! or else your shirt will turn a diff color!! use the clorox bleach for colored clothes!

Answer 2

no you shouldn't it might get spots of white on it.  Try using hydrogen peroxide, and cold water  and rub gently before putting in the washing machine.  It should work.  I use it on my son's shirt when he had a bloody nose and it worked.  Good Luck!

Answer 5

Do not use regular bleach!  Try Clorox 2 for colors.

Answer 6

Answer 7

you can if you use color safe bleach . if you got blood on it then mix warm water and salt and scrub with it .  

Answer 8

put hydrogen peroxide on the blood it will come right out!

Answer 9

No, bleach will take the colour out of the whole T-shirt, or if you only apply on the stain it will bleach that spot.  Also bleach can cause the fabric to break down and result in holes, even when diluted.

You need a stain remover for blood.

Go to www.everything2.com and look up blood stain removal.

Answer 10

I'd go for it, pink's a light color so bleaching it shouldn't be a problem.

Unless you mind the risk of it becoming lighter.

But it does depend on the type of pink, a darker hot pink will probably have its color changed, while a pastel pink should be fine.

Answer 11

Only color safe bleach(Powder)as regular bleach(Liquid) is an acid and dissolves cotton if it sits in it too long.Blood dissolves in Water;let it soak according to the detergent directions for 30 minutes to an hour with the detergent.Then launder normally.Blood is easy to get out.I work at a sewage plant with oil,grease and who knows what else.

Answer 12

read the tag int he shirt it should say if u can or cant

Answer 13

Use Clorox 2 and COLD water.  Hot water sets blood.  Cold water gets it out.

Answer 14

It depends on the shade of pink and how deep the blood stain is. If the blood stain is fresh and the pink is very pale it might work. If it is a bright pink like carnation or fuchsia it will turn to a dingy pale beige like color.

Try Clorox for Colors or OxyClean

Always use COLD water  hot will set the stain.

Answer 15

You can use bleach on colored clothes only if it's a colored safe bleach

with your favorite laundry detergent in cold water.
