I think there are instructions on the bottle, even. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2439379 Thu, 28 Jan 2016 01:13:24 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2439379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: woohoo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2439290 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 20:35:15 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2439290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: yay!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2439286 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 20:31:29 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2439286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UPDATE!</p> <p>It worked!!! I got the color catchers and soaked the clothes in 2 of them, warm water, oxi powder, and I sprayed the stain with Oxi spray. I'm drying them now, but I am pretty sure all the stains are gone. Thanks everyone!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437561 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 12:31:41 +0000 Veggiemama 2437561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abbydabbydoodlebug: </p> <p>Mrs. Bee did a helpful blog post awhile back and I have had some success using a paste of oxiclean as she describes: </p> <p><a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2014/03/24/how-to-get-any-stain-out-of-baby-clothes/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2014/03/24/how-to-get-any-stain-out-of-baby-clothes/</a></p> <p>I also use a 3:1 hydrogen peroxide/blue dawn mixture that has been amazing on stains that I haven't noticed until after clothes have come through the dryer. I either spray the mixture on or soak the entire garment overnight, it has worked especially well on white clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437542 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 12:19:47 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2437542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pre- soaked in water with Oxyclean and then put some in the washing machine with the clothes too (when dealing with stains). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437498 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:56:16 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2437498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: oy, I'm getting color catchers ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437462 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:40:42 +0000 Smurfette 2437462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Soak the shirt in water with Oxyclean and the color catchers. It is your best bet. It works maybe 50% of the time for me. </p> <p>We pre soak a lot in Oxyclean and I always throw a color catcher in there to help. I learned my lesson. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437455 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:35:56 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2437455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.KMM: @erinbaderin: I have both the spray and the powder,but the powder doesn't seem to work right. How exactly do you use the powder for it to work on stains? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437443 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:27:40 +0000 erinbaderin 2437443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oxyclean Spray saved a pair of white shorts when I accidentally left a hot pink sports bra on them to dry. It took a couple cycles through the wash but a good spraying and then trip through the washer, repeat as needed, should do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437438 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:24:46 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2437438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oxyclean saved a shirt of mine in college when I did that.

If the color catcher doesn't work, I'd try bleach as a last ditch effort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437404 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:11:20 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2437404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: I loved this new shirt...

I would, though, run it back through the wash with a Shout Color Catcher in the off chance that it might work. I don't run any laundry without tossing a Color Catcher sheet in! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437391 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:05:22 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2437391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pictures.... </p> [attach=1468/16/o1ki0y.337x600.20160126_100314.jpg] [attach=1468/16/o1ki0z.337x600.20160126_100326.jpg] [attach=1468/16/o1ki11.337x600.20160126_100306.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bleeding-clothes-in-laundry#post-2437387 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:02:33 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 2437387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just folding laundry when I discovered that something bled on DD's brand new shirt and my favorite sweater of hers. :'-( It's already dried. Is there any way to salvage it? </p>
