my jeans have coloured all my whites blue. What can i do to remove blue colour from my whites ?
Answers:
There are a few steps you can take:
First, try bleaching all white clothing already colored blue with some oxygen bleach - chlorine bleach may damage the fabric and is dangerous for the invironment!
Second, NEVER wash white and colored laundry together! Follow the instructions given on the labels.
Third, before wearing new blue jeans, wash them with a mild detergent, add about a tablespoon of vinegar; that should sufficiently keep them from coloring (bleeding).
Hope this may help you some. Have a nice day!

You can get special colour run removers from supermarkets, on the same aisle as the washing powder etc.
Ive never found them to work though

put something white in with them and hope the white runs into it.
use Zonrox
BLEACH
Try bleaching them. I suggest that next time you do laundry you sort your colors from your "ahem" whites.
I say lots of Clorox or OxyClean
very little hope
i had a white top that got coloured by jeans and now its blue forever !
try soaking the whites in some water with some bleaching agent - check your supermarkets - although i doubt very much anything can be done once the colour is set.
next time - whites with whites !!
bleach.
Ace bleach dont let your clothes dry untill you have done it. Wash your jeans seperate for a while then with one white sock to check if they still dye.
STOP DO NOT BLEACH THEM!!
They will end up yellow.
Go to your local cheapy shop and buy net curtain whitener about £1 per sachet.
I use this all the time and my granny has used it for years too.
Works a treat but if you have alot of washing that has turned blue buy 2 sachets.
Hope this helps
try purchasing Rit dye remover and follow the instructions. It has worked for me. One caution: If you have already run the clothes through the dryer it may take more than one try to remove the dye.
Bleach might be the best thing! lucky they didn't all turn pink lol!
Bleech is the only thing that will work.
Dilute according to bottle in cold water.
soak items for 2-3 hours
Rinse and wash as normal
Hopefully this will work.
Bleach will work on cotton parts - not on synthetics or elastic bands... so you'll end up with parts colored, parts white (even the thread is usually synthetic).
If you are picky, throw away, buy new, and learn to separate colors in the wash.
If you are not picky, wear them as they are.... or buy some deeper color (lite blue p.ex.), and color them! at least it will look deliberate.
Jeans always run into light things unless they are very old and faded, the net curtain stuff is your best bet but next time separate whites and colours
you can get special stuff it's called colour rescue in most supermarkets and it is very good at restoring whites.
also if that fails try Ace
try soaking the items in a product called iron out. I would soak them overnight. It is normally located near "rid x" and other products. I have not done it for a long time, but it will remove just about anything from clothing. Be careful to only use it on white clothes, it will fade colors!
I use Snowy powdered bleach and let them soal overnight before washing.
let your washer fill with water pour bleach and soap in it when full let it agitate to mix water with bleach and soap stop the washer, put your laundry in , let it agitate again to mix the laundry with the watermixture, then stop the washer about half and hour, after that just start it up again and finish the laundry, that should do it
try putting two sterilizing tablets, e.g milton (shops own is cheaper) in a bucket of water and soak them for a couple of hours
if you haven't dried them yet, there is still hope.
rewash them with hot water and oxyclean or bleach. let them soak for about 15-20 minutes after agitating for a few minutes. then finish wash as usual.
Remember in the future: don't wash whites with anything but whites
