I came home today from a trip and DH started my white laundry. Except he didnt realize there was a red ticket (like from a carnival or fair) in the back pocket of my brand new white jeans. So now the pocket has red spot where the ticket bled.
Give me your best tricks and tips to get this to come out. These jeans are literally brand new.
The jeans have not been dried yet.
Edit:
FINAL UPDATE --
Thank you all for the help and suggestions! I tried every suggestion (minus the Rid Color Remover - I couldn't get that locally that I could find). What ended up working the best --- in case someone else needs to search for help --- was:
1. 'Pink Stuff' that comes in the tub. It didn't have laundry listed on it as something that it would work on, but it got a lot of it out on its own.
2. Then wash with a color catcher sheet + Oxyclean. I did one short cycle with liquid oxyclean and then a long cycle with the powered oxyclean.
3. Final wash had more pink stuff smeared on the inside of the pocket, and then washed with White Brite. It got the rest of it out.
My jeans are like new again!

I would try soaking them overnight and cold water. Maybe somebody else has a better solution.

Make a new cute pocket for the jeans and sew it on.

Oxi clean white revive. Also wash the jeans with a shout color catcher. Keep the stain wet until it’s removed.

I've always had great results from Dylon Run Remover or Colour Safe Runaway.

Dial original bar soap. The white one.

Also gets out marker and pen stains on dh's work shirts (nice button down ones).

Oxiclean. Soak in the sink.
I don't know if Folex would work, but it takes out lots of dog stains.

I once sprayed a stain daily for a week with oxyclean stain removal and got the stain out.
It was a yellow mustard stain, but a week of daily soaking the stain got it out.

Mine isn't scented, but that should work the same. It has been years since I bought any. And DH uses it for me now since it contains coconut. But it is what my mom used when I was little to get out stains. Im thinking since it got dried blood stains out ( as well as TPN stains, and formula stains) and pen markings it should do the trick. I just get the area wet, the bar of soap wet and really push the soap onto the spot toe create a lather of thickness. Then toss and wash as normal. |

I thought it was supposed to work to keep the colors separate originally (if that makes sense, lol). Since the stain is still wet it should help with drawing the dye out. I did it with a white baseball tee with red sleeves that had turned pink in the wash. |

When my youngest was about 4, he dropped a full cup of Easter egg dye on the carpet. I pulled out the Oxyclean and prepared a little concoction and as I sprayed it on the carpet, you could see the color disappear. It was an Easter miracle (and the youngest survived). I was shocked at the carpet just turning back to it's original color of tan. |

I would buy the tub of powder oxyclean. Then put 2 scoops in a bucket of water and soak my jeans for 2 days. Then wash. It almost always works…

Wading in from over the pond - if you have Ace fabric bleach, that stuff on a stain, neat and left for a while usually works but as someone else said, red is really hard to get out sometimes.
Check how far the discolouration has gone through, too, and treat from the inside out as well, if necessary.
If nothing works sew a pretty (pre-made) patch on both pockets or embroider on both.

Here’s my early Wednesday update:
Tried the Folex and it didn’t really do anything. But DH had the idea to try that Pink cleaner that you use on literally everything. It got a lot out but not all. So yay! Then my Ealmart order was delivered this am so I’m now using the color catcher thing and some oxy clean. Fingers crossed! If that doesn’t work, I’m going to try more of the pink cleaner on it. I was surprised how much it got out.

You have some good ideas above. If they don't work, try warm water, baking soda, dawn power wash and a stiff brush. Wet area with warm water, spray with dawn power wash, scrub it in with baking soda, let sit for a few minutes then rinse. I use this concoction to get stains out.

Yay! I'm glad that you were able to get all of the stain out. That's a great tip about the Pink Stuff. I have a tub of that in my cupboard, I never would have thought to try it on laundry. I'll have to remember that for next time I need to get a stain out.

I'm late to the party, but there is a product called Zout that is good for almost any stain. If I need extra muscle, I use peroxide, Carbona, or super washing soda, or some combinations of those in addition to some of the things named above. ZoutGlad you got your jeans clean. |
