Help my son's white football pants are now pink
#1
I washed my son's white jersey with red numbers (which had been washed before) with his new football pants and they are now pink. I never thought the jersey would bleed as it had been washed before and nothing happened.
The football pants are brand new from the league. How do I get the pink out. It says not to bleach them, but should I try that. I tried rewashing with a color catcher--I think they are a little lighter pink. I have a septic tank so I don't use bleach, but I could wash the pants in a bucket with bleach? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

seems like there is something you can put in the wash that is suppose to absorb colors but I can't remember what it is.
I would try bleach and oxy clean and then wash then several times back to back. ( don't dry them inbetween)
Good Luck

If you have a deep sink or 5 gallon bucket. Put a cup of oxyclean in with about 4 cups very hot water. Swish with a long handled spoon till the oxyclean is disolved. Add warm water, enough to cover the pants. Soak the pants for a couple of hours, swishing the pants every 15 min or so. This should get the pink out. I would not use bleach. You may even have to soak them over night. Good luck. Let us know how they turn out. HUGS

Same happened to me. That pants fabric doesn't like bleach or hot. If the color removers suggested don't work, I would just buy a new pair. You can sometimes find them at other sports apparel places. Good luck.
