I washed a white shirt with dark jeans and now the shirt has some kinda grey areas on it.

Question

How do I fix this? Just use bleach with other whites? The white shirt is American Eagle and has small graphics on teh right side. Ok to use bleach? And what if my polos with white in it gets it?

Answer 1

I'd try soaking it in OxyClean.  Bleach would probably fade the graphics on the shirt, but OxyClean won't.  Good luck.

Answer 2

Soak the white shirt in a bucket for 24-48 hrs, in woolite. Use extra woolite and stains should come out.

If the shirt is all white and cotton fabric, you can try washing the shirt spearately with a little bleach per bleach instructions. The shirt should have a care label inside with the washing directions.

Answer 3

hmm well I use a little vinegar and a small amount of baking soda with a small amount of bleach when washing the white clothes that just dont look white anymore, so when you wash it again you can wash it with other white clothing and this will get you whites really white and wash your washing machine at the same time.And this wont mess with the graphics on your shirt if you use color safe bleach, hope this helps you out
