I used Hydrogen peroxide to remove a stain from a white sweater, but it left a yellow mark. Any suggestions?

Question

I have a white sweater made from a synthetic material. I spilled pomegranite juice on it! I quickly used hydrogen peroxide to take out the juice stain. And off I went. By the end of the day, the sweater had developed a yellow mark where I dabbed the peroxide. Any suggestiosn how to get the yellow out?

Answer 1

Did you wash the sweater directly after the pomegranate stain dissipated? If you didn't wash it, that's why you got a yellow stain. I would suggest the clorox bleach pen, after using it on the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then throw it into your washer. It should bring it out, but there are no guarantees.

Answer 2

Hydrogen peroxide works in the same way as bleach so it can cause yellowing.  The only thing I know of to get rid of it is blueing but that's more for the whole garment.

Answer 3

Try "Bluing" compound - available at the store in the laundry section - it'll get that yellow spot out - provided it can be used on your material.
