To get dye out of white fabric, one method involves using chlorine bleach as directed by the instructions for stain removal.
If you are dealing with dye stains or color bleed on white items, chlorine bleach can be an effective solution, particularly if the fabric is suitable for bleach. The process involves carefully soaking the stained area.
You might notice the color starting to lift immediately upon contact with the bleach solution.
Step-by-Step Guide: Soaking in Chlorine Bleach
Based on the provided method, here is how to proceed:
- Prepare the Soak: Mix a solution involving chlorine bleach. (Note: Specific dilution ratios are not provided in the reference, so consult product instructions for safe use).
- Soak the Fabric: Carefully place the stained white fabric into the bleach solution.
- Allow to Soak: Soak in Chlorine Bleach for Five Minutes.
- Rinse: After the five-minute soak, thoroughly rinse out the bleach solution from the fabric.
- Check the Stain: Inspect the fabric to see if the dye stain is gone.
- Repeat if Necessary: If a trace of the color bleed remains, repeat the soaking process for another five minutes and rinse again. Continue repeating this step in five-minute increments until the stain is no longer visible.
- Wash as Usual: If the stain is successfully removed, wash the item as you normally would according to its care label.
This method utilizes the oxidizing properties of chlorine bleach to break down and lift the dye particles from the white fibers. Always test bleach on an inconspicuous area first if you are unsure about the fabric's compatibility, although this specific method is described for use on white items intended for bleaching.
