Clothing is Bleeding Onto Itself

January 17, 2021

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.

The red twill bled onto the white lace. How do I get the red dye out of the white lace. I have used Oxyclean with peroxide so far. Waiting a little while before rinsing. Any other suggestions?

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.
