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 1/2 cup (125 ml) of Clorox® Bleach or Clorox® Scented Bleach into your washing machine.
2. Wash

   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, you can do a quick bleachability test. Make a solution of 2 teaspoons (10ml) of Clorox® Bleach or Clorox® Scented Bleach and 1/3 cup of water. Apply a drop of this solution on a hidden area of the fabric. Rinse after 5 minutes and dry. If there is no color loss, you can safely bleach the item.
