Posted - May 15 2006 : 06:10:46 AM Hi there, I was wondering if anyone has a solution for removing what appears to be indigo dye from jeans that have stained a white cotton sweater. I washed a white sweater with blue jeans and hence the stains.
Any suggestions? Jody

Posted - May 16 2006 : 06:41:49 AM Hi Jody I use a product called CARBONA Color Run Remover -little pink box--usually with the RIT Dye products in the detergent section of larger supermarkets. There are products by RIT also...I just have experience with the Carbona product...
CAUTION!!!---don't breathe the fumes!!! Hope this helps, Master Gardener Chandra

Posted - May 15 2006 : 06:30:35 AM Jody- I Googled "removing stains" and got quite a few links. This one looked informative. You also may want to try the dye grabber sheets that are sold at grocery stores and the like.
