Dye Transfer Stain Removal

The dye from colored fabrics can transfer on other items in the wash.

Dye transfer stains happen when one garment's color bleeds onto another in the wash cycle. The most important step in removing dye transfer stains is to act quickly. The sooner you try removing the stain, the more luck you are likely to have. The second most important step is to avoid heat. Until the dye transfer stain is completely gone, or you have exhausted all the stain-removal techniques, do not use hot water, the dryer or an iron on the stain or it will set.
