Washing clothes is a very common thing in people's daily life. However, the more common it is, the more attention people need to pay to it.

In fact, there is a measure that can be taken to deal with this situation. Here we will introduce what to do if white clothes turn red after bleaching.

Treatment method:

Boil some soapy water, put the stained clothes in a basin, soak them in clean water first, then pour out the water, and then pour the freshly boiled soapy water directly into the basin, soak for about ten minutes, and gently rub them with your hands, and the original color will be restored.

2. Potassium permanganate with acetic acid

The method is to first dissolve a little potassium permanganate in water, then put the clothes to be rinsed in, and make sure they are fully soaked. After soaking for 10 to 20 minutes, the clothes will turn dark red. Pick up the clothes and wash them with clean water; then dissolve a little acetic acid in water, put the clothes soaked in potassium permanganate into the acetic acid solution, the clothes will slowly change from dark red to the original color, and the stained areas will also fade without damaging the original color of the clothes. Sometimes you can also use this method when you wear yellowed clothes.

3. Washing powder with dishwashing liquid

Add washing powder and dishwashing liquid containing a lot of anionic surfactants in a 1:1 ratio into warm water, soak the stained area in the warm water for more than half an hour, and then scrub it with your hands. If it still cannot be cleaned, put all the clothes in water above 50 degrees, add a small amount of detergent and scrub them, using the fading of the clothes to reduce the color difference of the dyed clothes.

4. Salt method

Wet the dyed area with water, apply it with table salt, and rub it gently with your hands repeatedly. The dyed color will disappear and you can then wash it with clean water.

5. Baking soda + bay leaves

Place the dyed clothes in a basin of hot water and add 10 spoons of baking soda per liter of water. Cover the clothes with laurel leaves and leave them overnight. Wash them the next morning to restore their original color.
