I recently washed a white Tshirt with a new pair of jeans by mistake and now it is a manky grey colour!! I read a tip once in a magazine saying that you could use something like vinegar to get things white again. I remember thinking at the time that I had whatever they suggested in my kitchen cupboard but I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT IS!!!! I've looked on Google but only bleach and Colour Run are suggested. Can anyone help?

Once the color has set into natural fibers it is almost impossible to remove. Bleach is really the only answer.

The acids in certain products such as vinegar and citrus acids may lighten the garment a touch but can also weaken the structure.

Or you could just go for a complete color change and dye it another shade!

It must be a very precious T shirt, can't you buy another one?

It's a sports bra/cropped Tshirt that I have to wear under any tops that go a bit low. Unfortunately I can't afford to just go out and buy another one at the moment!

Hi claire

if you are in the trnc and go your local supermarket ther is a product next to wash powders called MAX HARIKA costs approx half a lira so very cheap and very good its a powder to keep whites white so they dont discolour out hear so its worth a try i think you put about a third of sachet in wash and hopefully this might help or im sure you could maybe put half sachet in the was worth a try nothing to loose but very good cheap product and is a must if you do whites load to stop then form discolouring good luck L.
