Red Bled into White Lettering on a New Sweatshirt

Try some baby wipes. I have found that the newborn ones from Huggies work the best. I was able to get dried blood out of a white sweater with them so maybe it will help you. Hope it helps and have a happy New Year.

Yikes. The only thing I can think of is maybe a tide to go pen or a clorox pen. Sadley, when red bleeds onto white there's not a lot that can be done about it. Good luck!

I bought a coca cola shirt for my son back in the day. It was bright red with whuite lettering and it did the same thing in cold water. I called the manufacturer who was no help at all. I noticed EVERY time it was washed it did it again. I half expected it to turn pink which the main part of the shirt didnot. I found a product that is like drier sheets. I cannot recall the name but it's in the laundry aisle and you put it in when you wash something like this and it pulls all the loose dye ibnto it's self. And it does help.

Maybe a soak in warm water with some oxi-clean before washing again? good luck

Shout or somebody has a product for just this thing. I can't remember the name of the product specifically but I used it two years ago when my husband through a new burgandy wash cloth in with the kids clothes and everything turned out pink. I works pretty good.

Try a Q- tip with peroxide on it.
If that does not work call your local dry cleaner and ask.

A product called Sol-U-Mel will take it out. It is non-toxic and can just be added to the water when you put your detergent in...it is not a bleach, it is a very efficient stain remover. You cold even put it on directly on the clothing in full concentrate. Good luck!

You could try using gel bleach on a q-tip?

Good luck!

My husband bought this stain remover called Zout (red spray bottle). I swear by it - it works on everything. So, I have a cream turtleneck that i put away last winter, and brought out last week. I noticed that there pink all over (meaning, it was washed with something red and it bled onto my cream shirt). I sprayed the zout on it, and washed it with my next load of laundry and it completely came out - a year later after the stain was set too. I don't ever worry about stains with my two 3 year olds anymore, becuase I know the zout will take out anything.

Try Clorox 2-(for COLORS)-also add a Shout dye catching sheet with it. Can't guarantee it will take it all out-but may help. In addition, you could also spot treat with Clorox 2 on the area right before washing. The dye catching sheet will help prevent any other running. Take it out of the washer right away. Good luck!!

Clorox bleach pens rock! I use one all the time for my boys' clothes since they tend to get icky around the neckline from food spills. Also, if the whole thing is tinged pink you might just put it in the wash with a load of bleachable items. I have done this before and the white part became white again and the colored part didn't fade. Good luck!

A few years ago, I had a similar situation with my daughter's red & white embroidered shirt, and my mother suggested I take a Q-tip and individually treat the pink area with little dabs of a bleach solution. I don't recall the strength of the bleach (I'd start with weaker, then strengthen it if needed). But I dabbed from my little cup of bleachy water, and it worked! (don't use straight bleach!)
