How can I get a pink "tint" out of jeans that were washed with a red sweatshirt?

I washed a load of jeans with a red sweatshirt and now they all have a pink "tint" to them....it is light and only shows around the worn washed places in the jeans...they are my favorite jeans....Help!!

How can I get a pink "tint" out of jeans that were washed with a red sweatshirt?
it will be harder if not impossible to get it out if you have already dried them because the heats sets in the color just as it does a stain. But maybe you could try Oxy Clean or a generic version of it. I use it for whites that have gotten dingy but I dont want to bleach them and they look great!
Reply:bleach. shout.
Reply:If they're wet, put them through a few cycles with soap and if you dried them try to spray and wash the areas with color. Hopefully that will help!
Reply:Dye stains are very difficult to remove. First,pretreat the stain with a heavy-duty liquid detergent, then rinse thoroughly. Soak the stained garment in a dilute solution of all-fabric powdered bleach.





If the stain persists, and the garment is white or colorfast, soak in a dilute solution of liquid chlorine bleach and water. Bleaching damage to colored garments is irreversible. To decide if a fabric can be bleached safely, use the test described previously. If the stain is not removed in 15 minutes, it cannot be removed by bleaching and further bleaching will only weaken the fabric.





Caution: Since bleaches can alter the color of a fabric as well as the stain, bleach the whole garment and do not try to bleach just a spot.
Reply:Rit dye actually sells a product to take dye out.

Reply:The only thing I can think of is to get some dye close to color of your jeans...and try it that way. It worked for my son, who did the same thing......never, never, never, wash anything red with other things, if you can help it....It will make even a black item, get a funny tint to it....that is if the red is not colorfast.....





My son had pink socks too, and even bleach didn't work......so I got a lot of socks for free!
Reply:Try washing them with a new pair of Jeans that are blue not faded blue
Reply:You can only get the "pink" out if you have not dried them in the dryer. If you have dried them, try buying some color out. That is usually used before you dye clothing.
