Stain Cleaning Process (this method has been used to clean 100’s of shirts with good results, portions of this process can be repeated as necessary)
1.
Add 1-2 gallons cold water to bucket or deep sink
(cold water reduces chance of colored sleeves bleeding into white areas)
2.
Dissolve ½ cup Borax powder (optional: add Oxi
Clean for additional cleaning action)
3.
Add 1 – 1.5 cups of 3% hydrogen peroxide
4.
Submerge only the body of the shirt into the
cleaning solution, keeping the colored sleeves dry and out of the water. This
helps prevent dye from the sleeves bleeding into the white fabric during
soaking. Drape the sleeves over the edge of the tub or basin to keep them
elevated and separate from the solution to maximum extent possible.
5.
Soak for at least 2 days.
6.
After soaking, wash shirts in cold water with
detergent and a few color-absorbing pads (such as a Shout or Carbona
Color Catcher) to help absorb dyes. Liquid or powder Oxi Clean can be used in
wash cycle for added cleaning power.
7.
Remove the shirt from the washer immediately
after the cycle ends. Leaving it in the drum while damp can cause colored
sleeves in contact with white areas to bleed onto the white fabric causing
light discoloration.
8. Dry on low heat or hang dry
