Expert: Todd Malin - 7/3/2009

Question
i was wahing a load of darks and didn't realize that a pink dish cloth had sneaked in. Now I have pink stains all over a really pretty gray dress with embroidery... I also noticed a white stain wich I think may be bleach. Help!

Answer
Sarah,

Wish I had a better answer for you, but dye is dye and bleach is bleach.  The bleach spot there's nothing you can do.  The pink spots on the dress, you might be able to improve.  Hang the gray dress in the sun as much as possible.  Sunlight breaks down red dyes. It is a very slow process, but it does usually improve.

Todd
