What should I do if bleach turns white clothes red?

There are many benefits to wearing white clothes, such as making you look younger and having a whiter skin, etc., so many people have white clothes in their wardrobes. But you will find that if white clothes are stained with some stains, such as lipstick or blood stains, it will be difficult to clean them. At this time, people generally use bleach, but if used improperly, the bleach will turn the clothes red. How to solve this problem?

What should I do if bleach turns white clothes red?

No matter what color clothes are, they will turn red when washed with bleach. This is mainly because the clothes are stuck with phenol-containing substances such as sunscreen and cosmetics. These substances will react and appear red when they come into contact with bleach or agents.

If clothes turn red during rinsing and the label is still there, you can first check the washing instructions on the label. If the material of the clothes is not suitable for rinsing, it means that the material has undergone a color reaction and there is no way to remedy it.

If the material of the clothes allows rinsing and there is nothing wrong with the washing method, you can soak the clothes in clean water for a while. During this time, you can gently rub the stained area or change the water. Then hang the clothes in a ventilated place to dry. The red color can slowly fade or be removed.

You can also try to cover the red part with salt, then rub it repeatedly with your hands. The red color will gradually fade away, and then you can wash it with clean water.

Another method is to pour some potassium permanganate solution into a basin and soak the discolored clothes in it for about 10 minutes. During this period, the clothes will become redder. Then wash the clothes with clean water and add a little acetic acid. Soak for a while, the clothes will slowly change from dark red to the original color, and the stained areas will also fade away.

If it is not serious, add 2 drops of pure blue ink to a basin of water, soak it, and then dry it.

Not sure it will work, but it won't make things worse, so give it a try. White clothes will appear whiter if you soak them in pure blue ink for a while and then dry them directly.

The three pieces of clothing are all made of cotton, a vest, a white shirt, and a cotton and linen mid-sleeved top.

There were a few yellow stains on my vest and top (I don't know how they got there), so I thought of using some bleach to clean them. The clothes are pure white, with no other colors.

The result was that as soon as the bleach was poured into the basin and water was added, a large area of ​​the clothes turned red immediately, and it was not very uniform. The chest and sleeves turned red, and there was no change elsewhere.

The white shirt was accidentally stained a little red before washing, and as a result, the cuffs turned red instantly as soon as some bleach was poured on it.

The white vest was thrown away, and after the shirt was soaked in bleach for two nights and one day, the red color was finally completely clean.
