How do I brighten my daughter's pink blanket?

Hi! We recently moved from a place that had terrible water. As a result of washing it there, my daughter's baby pink blanket now looks more like a dirty pink. How can I brighten it back to the original pink, or close to? I normally wouldn't care, but this is one of those Sonya Bebeblankee blankets that costs $98.00. Please help!

I use baking soda in ALL my wash loads ! It helps the detergent work harder using LESS and it takes away odors. I would try it, it may also keep things bright by washing any residues out of the fabric ! I would also NOT put it in the dryer.. Hang it to dry...





good luck
Reply:Did you try the cleaner Snuggle? Pink bottle, my mom uses it to soften my blankets and she also uses to make some stains go away. Or the product 'All'. don't waste your money to buy a new blanket.
Reply:Really good answers so far. Or you could try a little under recommended amount of Clorox2 its suppose to be for colored fabrics? Or maybe you could just cheat and take it to a dry cleaner (hehehe). I have a feather tick pillow my mom made me when I was 5 (one of 8) she made us kids growing up out of a feather tick mattress that use to be my great great grandma's that came out here from Kansas in a covered wagon (I should have it dry cleaned)...thats some worthless history huh...let us know Jackie what you find that works. Have a great weekend!!
Reply:You can try adding a little bit of vineager to the rinse cycle. Not a lot...just a tablespoon-ish.
Reply:It sounds as if re-washing could do the trick....I think the Boraxo products are good for this. Watch using Vinegar...that sets colors.


We bought new front loading washer and dryer about 2 years ago...and I hadn't realized actually how dirty our clothes were from the old washer and dryer until they came out of the new front loader washer....it was incredibly cleaner. Our whites, from the old washer, still looked white...but when re-washed came out blinding white....Colors came out brighter and so I started washing everything....I would suggest taking that blanket to a coin operated Laundry Service....that has the front loaders....and wash it there, with something like Tide and Washing soda.....Even if you have to do it twice...it should be brighter....

Reply:I don't know about baking soda, but washing soda works wonders on stains. It really helped get the stains out of my daughters cloth diapers. Just use it as a booster in your regular wash. You can usually find it in a yellow box in the aisle with your commercial detergents. Goodluck!
