White work shirt gone grey in wash? HELP!?

Question

My only white work shirt with green emblem has gone grey in the wash! What can I do to fix it?! Its still wet and i need it tomorrow!

Answer 1

I would use Oxy-Clean.

Answer 2

Ritz dye makes a dye remover. You can find it where ritz dye is sold...hardware store, walmart or even a grocery store.  Good luck to you and DO NOT dry it til you have exhausted all resources or it will set it.

Answer 3

I would soak with oxy-clean or color safe bleach (b/c of the green emblem) and then rewash. DO NOT dry it until it is back to white again as the heat from the dryer with set in the grey. I've also heard of using peroxide or white venegar to pull out the stain (or in this case greying) but I've not tried either myself. So I would save either of those as a last resort.

Good luck and God Bless!

Answer 4

I'd suggest Oxyclean or non-chlorine bleach.  In the future, make sure you never mix whites with colors as the colored fabric fibers will stick to the white fabric and make it look discolored.  When I do laundry, I break up my loads this way: whites, towels, red/orange/pink/tan, blue/green/black/purple.  That way, any fiber transfer won't be noticeable.  It is to sort this way hard if you are doing laundry for only one person, though, but totally worth it to keep your clothes looking good.

Answer 5

There is some stuff called Blueing. It can be found in the grocery store by the detergant. It is in a small bright blue bottle. Add it in with the wash.
