Was the thing dyed when washing? There is an exit!
The colored blouse “accidentally” ended up in the wash with white linen, the black sock “inherited” on a light T-shirt. What to do if one of the items faded and stains on other products during washing? It turns out that there are many ways to rectify the situation if, when washing, the thing changed color.
What colors can most often fade?
Not all fabrics shed. Usually “extra” paint is given by bright colored cotton fabrics, sometimes wool. Paint with new jeans comes out a lot, especially when washing in hot water. Red, dark green, orange, blue brown - any saturated shade can become a source of trouble and color a thing of a different color during washing.
If there is color or contrasting trim, frill, bow on a skirt or blouse, you should first study the inscriptions and badges on the label, and then wash such a product.
There was a "disaster"! What to do?
Favorite thing after washing looks disgusting, all in some kind of stains or stains of incomprehensible color. And you can’t wear in this form, and it’s a pity to throw it away. The first thing to do is re-wash the item with bleach or powder.
The second thing to think about is to use dry cleaning services. On the appropriate equipment using the right reagents, this problem can be neutralized.
If you are too lazy to look for dry cleaning or a thing is not worth the additional cost, a list of funds checked by the hostesses is quite suitable. Quite simple, available in every home, substances will help correct this incident.
The following components can be added to this list:
- salt;
- hydrogen peroxide;
- stain removers for colored and white fabrics;
- ammonia;
- bleaches and powders;
- lemon acid;
- laundry soap;
- bleach;
- potassium permanganate.
Method using hydrogen peroxide
Immediately after detecting an unauthorized color, put still wet spoiled items in a basin or pan. Pour water, put on a stove and add peroxide. 4 grams of water takes 20 grams of peroxide solution. Heat and boil for about half an hour. The paint from the spots will go into the water, the thing will be restored. This method can be used for white and color products. If during washing the clothes are colored unevenly, then peroxide will eliminate this trouble.
Liquid ammonia acts similarly in smaller amounts (1 full tablespoon). The linen is heated to a boil, rinsed in warm water and dried.
How to restore white products with starch?
Stained with a faded thing, white or light products sometimes it is enough to repeatedly wash in hot water or boil with powder. If this measure only lightens spots and stains, proceed as follows:
- take 1 tbsp. planed laundry soap, citric acid, starch, coarse salt;
- add some water;
- mix everything in a small container until gruel;
- to put on the back of the product in the place where during the washing a stain has appeared;
- withstand about a half day;
- rinse thoroughly and dry.
It is important to act until the paint has time to harden in the fibers of the fabric.
Experimental methods
- If a thing after contact with a foreign dye has completely lost its appearance and there is nothing to lose, you can try the "grandmother" recipe using potassium permanganate. A pair of crystals is dissolved in water, washing powder is added, and the damaged item is laid. After a while, rinse and dry.
- Another controversial method is to mix powders, bleaches and stain removers of different manufacturers at the same time and soak your favorite clothes in this “miraculous potion”. No one bears responsibility for the effect obtained. If a thing in this infernal mixture dissolves, then nothing will have to be thrown away.
How to get an original piece of clothing from a spoiled item?
Any stain received from a faded thing can be decorated.There are a huge number of ways to get exclusive clothes from the seemingly spoiled while washing things.
- Did you get a few spots on your blouse? Increase their number! Artistic paints for fabric are taken or regular watercolor and a sponge are applied in random order on the surface of your favorite thing. Previously, so that the paint does not print on the second surface, inside you need to lay a layer of dense oilcloth or cardboard, which is removed before ironing. Dry for several hours, then thoroughly iron it with an iron to fix it. In the future, this masterpiece can be washed in warm water (up to 40 degrees) in the usual way.
- Again, paint, sponge and any stencil. The resulting painting on the fabric will not have an arbitrary, but a well-defined floral or other ornament and pattern.
- Any pattern on the fabric can be made with simple felt-tip pens. The fixing method is the same - ironing.
- Do not want to paint? No problem! With simple threads for sewing or you can embroider several arbitrary multi-colored lines at the spots.
- Applications from non-shed ribbons, sewn rhinestones and flowers, sequins and beads will not only save the painted thing, but will also make it an unusual part of the wardrobe.
- A cotton product can radically change color by boiling it in an aniline dye. The woolen thing can greatly decrease, and the acrylic - on the contrary, will stretch.
- It is important to remember that art painting methods are not suitable for all knitwear. Here you can perfectly apply embroidery or applique. And the surest means is to wash light, dark and colored items separately.

Thanks, help out. Bring back to life a new jacket! I was looking for your site
Thank! I saved my yellow T-shirt, which was dyed from orange trousers with hydrogen peroxide! There were no spots, the t-shirt is like new!
I tried to boil with a cut. It seems to work out and the crutch laundered ... Jacket 95% cotton. While I do not see wet spots, and they were bluish on a pink sweater. Although everything shines blue to me.
Thank you very much! Laundry soap helped a lot, the blouse was saved))
Hello, tell me please, I washed the jumpsuit in hot water. The tab is colored, how can I be, can I fix something? (The tab is not removed). It was white, and now pink ((((.
The method with hydrogen peroxide helped to restore the former appearance of the shirt, which was dyed during washing.
Strongly painted over white shirts with a red sock. I threw it in the wash for children's cotton 95t with prewash (on the labels 40 degrees, but there was nothing left to lose) and poured 20 ml of peroxide directly into the drum. A miracle happened! From the terrible red stains no trace!)))
I returned the snow-white appearance to my hat with peroxide, though I did not boil it and did not throw it into the machine, I just filled it with boiling water and added about 50 ml. perikisi, an hour later I got a hat without spots))) I thought it wasn’t true all this! But no way really works !!! thanks !!!
Throw away laundry colored items immediately and don’t be discouraged! At least not so much is lost in life that they will not save anymore - verified !!!
Super peroxide !!!!!!!! Thank you Dress restored)
Is it possible to add peroxide if I want to return the color of the black sweater? Some stains appeared from the burgundy towel.
This peroxide did not help (((((((
But what if the thing is gray, it has blue spots. And you can’t boil and bleach it?
I washed clothes white with blue leggings; everything was painted blue; what should I do? Tell me?
I washed a pistachio-colored jacket, forgetting that dark socks were in the washing machine, now it has painted, tell me what should I do? I regretfully bought a jacket a week ago (((
Thank! Peroxide helped. Great tool! Washed light things with a bright green towel, did not notice! Linen acquired a greenish tint, boiled in peroxide. Miracle, all things have acquired their color!
On woolen coats, brown cuffs were sewn up on the yarn, say if weasel can peroxide be seen ???
Light gray sneakers allowed a bluish color after soaking. Will peroxide help in this case? Tell me please.
Dress blue with white stripes. And when washing, the white stripes turned into a light-blue color (some kind of dirty one).
What to do in this case?
Veronica, you got an answer. How to restore a blue and white thing? Tell me.
Children's blouse white and blue collar. Lost from the collar, now all blue spots. What to do?
Peroxide helped to save the yellow T-shirt after it was painted in red spots when washed. Boiled for 1 hour.
Thanks for the valuable advice. Things have departed. It was very unfortunate - my daughter and husband shirts were stained. Hydrogen peroxide and the hour of boiling! You just saved me! Very grateful!
The ammonia helped, the spots disappeared.
Tell me, in what proportion to mix water and peroxide?
Peroxide does wonders, only it would probably be more efficient to immediately get wet laundry and do the procedure with peroxide, but I had it dry for half a day in the active sun, and still there is a positive result.
Tell someone who washed a tracksuit, it is red and white. White painted, now has a red tint (((What can I do?
Is it possible to add peroxide when colored things? This thing also molts ... Do not eat peroxide?
Peroxide did not help me at all, so sorry for the jacket!
Peroxide helped in part, where not very colored spots were boiled away, and where there were brighter spots, barely noticeable traces remained. Still, it seems to me, the color itself has boiled a little.
So that things do not paint, you need to put the thing in a basin, pour a bottle of vinegar and dilute with water.
Guys, thank you so much! She painted over her husband’s new white shirt: she soaked it and threw it into the basin for the night with a dark shirt. She didn’t seem to molt, but here I get it - and the white shirt is all in gray stains. Faberlik, house-Landov soap with pencil-stain remover, without tangible effect. Hydrogen peroxide and boiling saved!
I tried to return the color with peroxide! The original color was removed, and the acquired one took an even larger color.
Same. Spoiled the thing completely.
Get acrylic paint for the fabric in an aerosol can. It is easy to apply, dries quickly, and color remains during washing. Some things, such as cotton, can be dyed completely by boiling in an aniline dye.
On the beige pants a dark spot has faded, tell me.
I extended new red trousers and a raspberry undershirt extended with her. Trousers red steel with raspberry stains.Please tell me what to do ???

Girls, the option with hydrogen peroxide 100%! I have a new shirt (cotton) in a black and white strip, it was all in terrible stains (after hand washing). I tried to save both in a salt solution and in vinegar ... I read the hydrogen peroxide version and the shirt was saved! But I poured 70 grams of peroxide into 4 liters of water and literally after 10 minutes the result was already positive. Many thanks to the site !!!
I have a brown trouser suit with vanilla stripes and a big ruffle, new. I decided to stretch my hands in front of the sock, hung it and found it in half an hour, while I went to the store for a melon, drips and stains on the light part. I immediately threw it into the machine for an hour. Got it - horror! Even more stains and stains, the vanilla color has become dirty beige. In general, I cleaned up my synthetic suit with an explosive mixture. But the vanilla color did not return, but gently beige without streaks became. Ammonia is about 1-2 tablespoons, hydrogen peroxide can be 3-5 tablespoons, salt 5 tablespoons, a little powder and pour 5 liters of water (cold, because synthetics). I put things there for 2 hours, everything was fine. Can be worn!
