Laundry advice, Please!
 

So here's a good one for you. . .

I have a really cute 100% cotton white tank top with a button and mesh detail on the top. It looks great under summer shirts and short sweaters.

It had a food stain (I think mayo), so I pretreated it and washed it on the delicate cycle. The stain did not come out, so I thought hydrogen peroxide would help. I poured some on the stain, and some of the hydrogen peroxide splattered on the rest of the top. I did not rinse it out, but instead just hung it on the line to dry When I checked the clothes a couple hours later, it had yellow color splotches on it.

How do i get rid of the splotches?

I have used borax with some success on stains.

I have great success with a Dollar store product called Awesome,(kinda looks like a spray bottle of apple juice. It has even taken out old ( 2 years old) set in grease stains. Just spray, let set for about 10 minutes or till washer fills up, then launder as usual. Not taking paint smears for me.

Dawn dish soap on grease spot,rub in ...then launder...should work.

Awesome is, in fact awesome! I'd try that.

I consistently see hydrogen peroxide mentioned for removing stains. My experience with it on white items is as you described- yellow staining. I never got it out. I hope you are more successful than I was. I do not recommend hydrogen peroxide for fabric. There are plenty of good laundry pretreaters. I use the spray in the dark blue bottle spray n wash? And also Greased Lightening. Good luck!

The splotches are from the peroxide, it has bleached out your top, the splotches probably will not come out. Awesome is a great product but it does say to do a spot test first.

I use Oxy Clean on many stains. Also Grandma's Secret Spot remover. but it sounds like the HP did a job on your items and may not come out. Try Oxy Clean

might want to try baking soda, just make a past with water or white vinegar, spread it on then let it set for awhile then rinse with warm water.
