Remove dye transfer from clothes

Posted by Unknown in Monday, September 30, 2013

Sometimes clothing dye is not stable and will fade on other clothes!.

Removing dye stains from clothing can be done if you work quickly--the longer the dye sits, the deeper it penetrates into clothing fibers.

The first thing to do is find the culprit and pull it out. Then rewash all the clothes using a nonchlorine bleach or a cup of white distilled vinegar in addition to your regular laundry detergent. Do this BEFORE you put the clothes in the dryer.

If you have already dried the clothing or the dye transfer is heavy, you will need to take time to soak the clothing before rewashing. Mix a solution of oxygen-based bleach - OxiClean, Clorox 2, Country Save Oxygen Bleach, Seventh Generation Oxygen Bleach - and cool water.
Follow the package directions as to how much product per gallon of water. Submerge the stained items and allow them to soak for at least eight hours. Check the clothes and if the dye stains are gone, wash as usual. If they remain, mix a fresh batch of oxygen bleach solution and soak for another eight hours then wash. Sometimes it takes several washings before dyes begin to wash out and cling to the unsuspecting!

If you're only removing dye stains from white clothing, you can soak them for 30 minutes in a combination of 1 gallon of water and 1/4 cup of liquid chlorine bleach instead of the commercial color remover.

Remove Ink from Your Clothes or Dryer

Posted by Unknown in Tuesday, July 23, 2013

You may have questions: How To Remove Ink Stains Quickly and Completely?

The pen will not only leak on your clothes, but the ink can actually stay in your dryere after the load is through.


To help you to remove ink from your clothes, follow these tips:

If the ink is ballpoint or washable marker, begin by treating the stains with rubbing or isopropyl alcohol. Place the ink stained clothing on top of a white towel or paper toweling. Working from the outside of the stain and using a cotton swab, blot the alcohol into the stain. The ink will be transferred to the toweling underneath. Keep moving the stain onto a clean towel area until the stain is gone. Then rinse the area very well with cold water.

You may need to repeat the treatment several times depending upon how much ink was transferred. Use the same method if the stain has already dried – just know that you’ll need to keep repeating the treatment.
If the ink is a permanent marker, nothing is going to work. Consider dying the garment a dark color, putting an embellishment over the stain like a patch or ribbon or button trim or use the clothes as play or painting clothes.

If you get ink on your leather furniture or other leather product, it is best to purchase a commercial grade, leather product stain remover. These products will remove stains from the leather without damaging it. On top of that, they will provide a protective layer of product that will help prevent damage to the leather.

To remove ink from the washer or drye, Use rubbing alcohol to remove any ink remaining in your washer or dryer tub. Just use a white towel dampened with the alcohol to remove the ink. Rinse with a clean cloth or sponge dampened with water.

Good luck.

A Simple Solution to Make New Towels More Absorbent

Posted by Unknown in Wednesday, July 10, 2013

The story… I have bought some new towels, and they are very soft and fluffy but a not absorbent. Is there anything I can do to them or wash them with to make them work better?

Maybe you've experienced it too!

There are things you can do to make your new towel more absorbent.

-->

  • Wash the towel in hot water 2-3 times before you use them to remove extra dye and any coatings left from the manufacturing process & and avoid washing other items because the towels might lose some of their color and damage them.
  • Add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle; vinegar will get rid of smells and stains. Then add 1/2 cup of baking soda in the second wash cycle, baking soda will get your towels cleaner and whiter. Don't use baking soda and vinegar in the same rinse.
  • Don't use any fabric softener. If you can't stand how towels feel without fabric softener, use amidoamine softeners if available but the vinegar should help soften them anyway.

  • Add two clean tennis balls or any others made of rubber as you add your towels to the dryer. This will help to fluff up the towels and they will then be more absorbent.
  • Hang your towels on a clothesline to help them smell fresh and become more absorbent; line drying is also greener and cheaper. However, they might be less absorbent after they dry, so put them into the dryer for a couple of minutes to soften them.

If you are already using fabric softener, place 1/2 cup baking soda in the washing powder and add to the washing machine. Then, add 1/2 cup vinegar to the rinse slot. . It can be stripped to help increase absorbency.

How do you keep your towels fresh, clean and absorbent?
