Mamas, I am in need of your help once again! I bought a really cute new shirt the other day and spent a little more than I shoud have on it! Well, we are in the process of potty training and my son had an accident in his underwear yesterday. I proceeded to gather up all the laundry I could find and didn't notice that there was a red shirt in the wash with this new shirt, which is beige! Well, it stained the new shirt! I am currently washing it again and sprayed a TON of spray and wash on it! Will this get the stain out? Is there something I can use that would work or is it a lost cause? I sure hope not because the shirt was expensive! Thanks in advance for any advice!
If rewashing it doesn't work (which it may very well if you didn't dry it)..rit dye makes a color remover, my sister had luck with that, but make sure to read the box, I don't know all the details. GL!
Whatever you do, don't put it in the dryer until you've got the color out!
I can't help you with the stain, but if you bought the shirt with a credit card that offers damage protection for your purchases, you might be able to file a claim and get your money back so you can buy another one. I've never tried this myself, but I know a couple of my credit cards offer this service. Good luck, and sorry to hear about the stain. I hate potty training!
Shout makes wipes that you put in the wash that pulls color out. You might try that.
Hi H.,
Shaklee's Nature Brite should do the trick. I would be happy to send you a sample to use. Let me know if you want it.

Get a tub of Oxiclean stain remover. But don't use it in a regular wash - Place your shirt in a sink full of cool water and sprinkle a scoop of Oxi over the top, let sit for 1-2 hours stirring ocassionally - then throw in the washing machine and wash as normal - the red should be totally gone! I have used this on every stain with 100% success. From chapstick stains, to baby poo, to washing whites with red...etc...I've had great success! Good Luck!
What I've done on things I thought was a "lost cause" is to treat it and wash it over and over without drying it. After a wash, if it still looked stained, I'd just put it back to be washed again. One time my hubby had an ink pen spill on his brand new work shirt. I did this thinking it was ruined but eventually, it got clean. I did this to my daughter's white pants with spaghetti stains and it worked again. I do use Melaleuca products so I'm sure that helped too but try this with however you normally treat your clothes. Good luck!
