Help - Does any1 know how to fix a pair of white cotton shorts that I have stained with bleach?

Question

I was out for dinner and spilled curry sauce on them so I put neat bleach on them and now the bleach has left a big yellowy cream patch on them. Any ideas??

Answer 1

By the time you got home it was probably too late..even bleach and hot water doesn't work all the time.  When you get a stain the best think is to soak right away.  

You could bleach again, Clorox and hot wash. Dont put them in the dryer, that may set the stain and make it really hard to get out.

If there is still a spot...it may come out with time.  Just wear them around the house or whatever if you dont want to wear them out anymore.  Go to the beach and wear them in the ocean then go home and send them through the wash...that helped a shirt of mine once (total accident).  

No need to throw them away.

Answer 2

Throw them away, they are completely ruined.
