Wait 1 minute then blot dry. Submerge the white shirt in the mixture and let it soak for 15 minutes. I was going to wear my shirt for a night out on friday. And it came out a light blue.

The blue may be what is known as bluing it s a chemical added to most detergents as a blue whitener it makes whites look whiter. There s also somthing called colourcatcher or something like that which comes in little sheets.

I just got a blue spot on a red t shirt with blue trim but it came out after washing that area carefully several times.

You bung it in the machine if you ve got a bit of a mixed wash or one of those awkward things like a blue white striped top and don t know whether to put it with light or dark stuff. Also years ago there was a product called bluing. White clothing is dyed white and when the dye wears off it becomes faded or yellow in appearance. For the white items and any partially colored items that passed the bleachability test try soaking them in a solution of cup clorox regular bleach 2 diluted in 1 gallon cool water for up to 5 minutes then rinse them thoroughly.

This bluing returns the color to white. It won t have set well so you should be able to soak it out or use bleach to remove the unwanted color. Plus i think it s because of my clothes softener.

We have a water softener don t use fabric softener changed from tide to all and don t use blue toilet bowl cleaner and yet the problem persists. My white shirt turned blue. Drain the water and rinse the mixture off the shirt with cool running water.
