Even with meticulous laundry sorting, a colored item can sneak into a white wash, leading to frustrating dye stains. Whether it's a red sock or any other color causing the havoc, quick action and the right laundry method can salvage your white clothes.

Preventive Tip

Clean your washer after a color-bleeding incident to avoid future pink streaks. Fill the washer with hot water, add a cup of chlorine bleach, and run a complete cycle before your next laundry session.

How to Get Pink Out of Clothes: A Four-Step Solution

Materials Needed:

  • Washer, tub, or large sink
  • Dryer or drying rack
  • Oxygen bleach powder
  • Laundry detergent
  • Chlorine bleach

Instructions:

  1. Remove the Offending Item:

    • Identify and take out the item causing the color change.
  2. Soak Away the Dye:

    • Prepare an oxygen bleach solution per label instructions.
    • Soak the stained laundry for at least four hours.
    • Oxygen bleach is safe for both white and colored clothes on most fabrics, excluding wool or silk.
  3. Check the Stains:

    • After four hours, assess the stained items.
    • If dye persists, drain the solution, prepare a fresh batch, and soak for another four hours.
  4. Wash and Dry:

    • Wash the clothes with regular detergent once the dye transfer is gone.
    • Dry in an automatic dryer or on a drying rack.

Additional Tips:

  • Check for lingering color before using a hot dryer to avoid setting any remaining stains.
  • For stubborn pink stains on white cotton, use a diluted chlorine bleach solution.
