Twenty-five years ago, I made a Christmas tree skirt with green/red plaid taffeta and red twill on other side, with expensive delicate white lace. I over watered the tree this year and the skirt got wet.
You can try Rit Dye/Color Remover. Take a look at this site: www.ritdye.com/
Follow the Rit instructions EXCEPT, only dip the lace part with the color that bled onto the lace, NOT the whole thing. Good luck.
It would be a lot of work, but you could also take the skirt apart, bleach the lace, then put the skirt back together.
Brightly colored sections on a dress can bleed onto the surrounding lighter parts. This page is about what to do when a dress bled on itself in wash.
I have a silk shirt which is black and white stripe. On the label it said wash in cold water which I did and the black has run into the white. Is there anyway I can fix this?
Unfortunately, I put my shirt in the wash last night and it looks like the blue has bled into the white stripe along the middle. The two photos show before and after.
Please can someone recommend how to restore the colours? This is a very sentimental shirt and I would massively appreciate any help!
How do you get color run out of clothes?
Take a white cloth and dampen it with a commercial stain remover, rubbing alcohol, hairspray, or any clear solvent that is 90% alcohol. Dab the stain with the white cloth repeatedly, and the dye should keep transferring from your garment onto the white cloth. Afterward, wash as usual with a couple SHOUT COLOR CATCHER SHEETS. Walmart sells a box of 72 sheets for just under $10.
This shirt will not turn back into the shirt you had before . There are different things to use to brighten or color the full shirt. You could try doing by sections with RIT color desolve on the white section. The color of the blue is the hardest to bring back.
I have a burgundy and white jacket that when washed the white areas turned pink. I have tried washing with Oxiclean with no change. Do you know if I use the RIT color remover if the burgundy areas will be affected by the solution or not?
I used this product on material a very long time ago, but that shirt was solid color not multicolored. If it will affect the burgundy I will try some of the other solutions suggested on this site.The color bleed onto the white in your jacket. This is a manufacture defect and shouldn't of happened if you followed the washing instructions carefully. I sure hope it doesn't say dry clean only. If it has washing instructions on the label and you did as it said, then I would contact the company and show them pictures of your jacket.
I have a beige dress with a black lace. I washed it by hand, but left it for few minutes in the water. Black color transferred onto beige. Any tips to remove it?

Try the Rit Color Grabber. If this is a new item, consider taking it back to the store.
Most methods will suggest that you soak the clothes for 8 hours to remove the dye transfer but in your case I feel it would just transfer moer of the color to your dress. You can try to use a color stain remover on this.
I washed a white piece of clothing with red thread embroidery and all the red bled onto the white, so now it is a shade of pink. Another piece of clothing that I washed had a maroon lace, the clothing itself is a self-print light beige, and the maroon lace bled onto the shirt. So now there are light maroonish color stains below the lace. (I washed both clothes separately).
I wanted to know will the boiling water and bleach method work on these shirts or will it completely ruin my clothes? Any other suggestions?

Boiling water could cause shrinkage. For the white shirt, you could take a q-tip and dip an end in bleach and dab the spots, it will be time consuming, but should work, then when you rinse the bleach out you will have to be careful that it doesn't run into the red, because you could end up with pink threads. Bleach will take the color out of anything colored. Whenever I have something colored that has a lighter color decoration or vice-versa, I use Shout brand Color Catcher sheets, found in the laundry department at stores.
New clothes with dyes that bleed can be soaked in salt water then dried prior to washing, this prevents the dyes from running.
My mother-in-law told me about soaking clothes in salt water, I have also heard about vinegar water, but never had any success with either one. Actually what I was told was that the soaking kept the clothes from fading, not from colors running into each other.
Try washing the items by themselves with 2 or 3 Shout Color Catcher Sheets, available in the laundry aisle at the supermarket. This product has saved several garments for me.
My daughter's 100% polyester cheer jacket is maroon on the bottom and white on the top. After washing in cold water, on the delicate cycle it looks pink where it should be crisp white. What is a mother to do? I have washed it with 2 color grabber sheets already.
I have white dress with red stripes. I was washing it so the red colour bled on the white portion. How do I I make the white portion stay white?

I washed my checkered pants in the wash without thinking about it and the black from my checkered pants bled into the white. Is there anyway I can get the white back to fully white?
