To Katie. Was frantically searching for answer to yellow stain on white cotton (with spandex) from bleach application. Found your answer of hydrogen peroxide and tried it. Special shirt good as new. Love you forever.

I had a white duvet cover that I accidentally got purple dye on. When I used bleach on it, the purple dye turned bright yellow. I tried everything! Peroxide, vinegar, lemon juice and sunlight. To no avail. My last step was Rit White-Wash. The stain is GONE! This is the best product Ever!!

While starting a load of laundry, I just spilled bleach on my husband's white cotton Polo shirt and it left a big yellow stain right in front after the wash cycle was done. It would not wash out. I went online and tried recommended remedies of vinegar, and then detergent, then soaking, to no avail. But I then smeared a paste of OxiClean and warm water and bingo! The stain came out immediately.
Of note, I did this all before putting it in the dryer. I imagine if it had been dried the stain would have been set for good. I always inspect my wet laundry for residual stains before tossing in the dryer.
