It is possible to change the color of clothes to make them appear white.It is also very simple to do.To change your clothes to appear more white, use a mixture of hot water and color removal to remove the existing dye from the fabric.The chlorine bleach solution can be used to bleach your fabric.It's not possible to turn some fabrics completely white, but you can lighten them up enough to make them appear white.
Step 1: 4 gallons of hot water can be put in a container.
Allow the faucet to reach the hottest temperature and fill the container with hot water.Set the stove to high heat by filling a large pot with water.Wait 5 minutes to allow the water to cool down after it starts to boil.Before you start working, make sure the water is not too hot.
Step 2: The powdered color remover should be added to the water.
Individual packets are measured out for you to use.Give it a good stir by adding 1 packet of the color removal to the hot water.If the color removal doesn't come in individual packets, measure out 1 ounce of the powder, add it to the water, and stir to combine it.A powdered color removal is also known as a color run removal.At department stores and online, you can find powdered color removal.Carbona Color Run Remover is a popular color removal product.
Step 3: Take the clothes out of the mixture.
Place the clothes you want to turn white into the hot water and use a wooden spoon or another utensil to submerge them so they are fully saturated in the water.If you wish the clothes to be evenly soaked, put them around the mixture.If you want the fabric to absorb as much of the color removal as possible, move the clothes back and forth with your spoon or utensil.
Step 4: Allow the fabric to sit for 30 minutes.
The dye in the fabric can be released if the clothes are left undisturbed.Don't touch the clothes for at least 30 minutes.You can set a timer for your watch, phone, or stove.
Step 5: When all of the colors are gone, remove the clothes.
Lift the clothes out of the water with your spoon or utensil after 30 minutes.They should be submerged back into the water if they still have a lot of dye on them.Wait another 10 minutes and check them again.If you want the clothes to be white, keep them in the solution.You can remove the clothes from the solution at that point if the color removal lifted as much of the dye as possible.
Step 6: To wash and dry clothes, you have to do it yourself.
If you put the wet clothes into your washing machine, do not put any other clothes in it.When they are done, put them in your dryer and dry them.After you dry the clothes, you can wear them.You can wash your clothes with your other clothes in future washes if the washer and dryer have neutralized the color.
Step 7: Combine chlorine with water.
Plug the drain if you want to fill a bucket or container with water.Slowly pour bleach into a measuring cup after removing the cap from the container.Pour the bleach into the hot water and stir it to combine the solution.For 4 cups of water, you need to add 1 cup of chlorine bleach.If you want to bleach your clothes evenly, use chlorine bleach instead of all-purpose or color-safe bleach.You can buy chlorine bleach at the store.
Step 8: Place the clothes in the mixture.
Put your clothes into the bleach solution and use a wooden spoon or other utensil to push them under the surface so they are fully submerged.The bleach will be soaked into all of the fibers if the clothes are stirred around in the solution.If you want the solution to not splash, stir the clothes gently.If you get some bleach solution on your skin, wash it off with cool water.
Step 9: If the clothes are white, let them soak for 10 minutes.
The bleach can turn the clothes white.Lift up some of the clothes with your utensil after 10 minutes.Take the clothes out of the solution and wait another 5 minutes before checking them.The clothes need to be checked every 5 minutes.
Step 10: You can run the clothes under the cold water.
Put the clothes in a clean sink or bucket and run them under cold water.The bleach will be removed from the clothes so they are safe to wear.The bleach will not stain other clothes it comes into contact with.
Step 11: The clothes should be washed in the washing machine and dryer.
The bleach should be flushed out of the clothes by washing them in your washing machine.You can dry them using standard settings when they are done.For specific instructions, check the tags on the clothes.
