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.
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.
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

I usually have good luck on whites with Oxyclean (peroxide, I believe). Just need to leave it on awhile. Never had a problem FROM the oxyclean, which is more than I can say for some things. Good luck. Ann
Once you try to remove it, if there is still a light stain then try hanging it in the sun. It worked for a number of light stains on white clothes for my family.
