How to Remove the Pink When Red Clothes Dye White Fabrics

You can restore white items that picked up a pink color from red clothing, if they are bleachable, by adding Clorox® Bleach or Clorox® Scented Bleach in the wash. Try the following steps to get your items white again.

In the Washing Machine:

1. Add

   Add 250 ml of Clorox® Bleach or Clorox® Scented Bleach into your washing machine.
2. Wash

   Wash as usual with your favorite detergent.

Soaking:

1. Add

   Add 4 tablespoons (60 ml) of Clorox® Bleach or Clorox® Scented Bleach for every 2 L of water
2. Soak

   Soak for 5 minutes, or up to 1 hour for tough stains.
3. Rinse and Wash

   Rinse and then add to the washing machine. Wash as usual with your favorite detergent.

For best results, wash at 40°C. Remember to always check the fabric care label. If in doubt about whether you can use bleach on your item, put 1 drop of Clorox® Bleach or Clorox® Scented Bleach on a hidden part of the fabric. Rinse after 5 minutes and dry. If there is no color loss, you can safely bleach it.
