Probably best to see a really good dry cleaner, even if just to talk with them. </p> <p>Good luck!! So sorry to hear this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-181466 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 15:58:12 +0000 Lisa 181466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my, I hope a dry cleaner can help you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-181296 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:34:30 +0000 fathenry 181296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second what Taylor said. What a bummer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-181285 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 02:56:57 +0000 taylor 181285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you really love this and want to salvage,I would march that directly to the cleaners. A pro can save your much loved skirt...but don't mess with it at all at home before the cleaners, just compounds the problem.</p> <p>They have saved some of my favorite garments from certain destruction.</p> <p>Bleaching will only yellow and ruin it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-181243 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 01:44:33 +0000 Kristine 181243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can find the Rit dye remover on websites like Amazon. Have you tried vinegar or color safe bleach? Whatever you do, don't machine dry it otherwise you'll set the color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-181219 Fri, 09 Jul 2010 00:59:07 +0000 Refugee 181219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As long as it i not dry clean only, the first thing I would try is soaking it overnight in distilled water. If it works, even to a degree, change out the distilled water and soak it again. Distilled water can do some amazing things without damaging fabric </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-181161 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 22:15:12 +0000 Sihaya 181161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I believe Angie has a blog post on it that you should search for. I think it was some kind of bleach remover? Good luck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-181069 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:31:39 +0000 Inge 181069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not good with practical stuff like stain removal, but really hope you'll be able to save your skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-181065 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 18:27:46 +0000 losenit 181065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for your response. Are you Canadian? I searched a Canadian Craft store and they don't have the product. Nor does Walmart. ANy other suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-180944 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:30:56 +0000 Dusty 180944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>RIT dye makes a color remover for exactly this kind of thing. It's not bleach, so I think it'd be okay and it does a pretty good job of removing errant dye. I know for sure it'll be at a craft store, like JoAnn's, but you may be able to find it at Wal-mart (one nearby carries it, but not the other). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-my-favourite-white-skirt-ruined#post-180940 Thu, 08 Jul 2010 13:18:45 +0000 losenit 180940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I was searching the net trying ot find an appropriate method to clean my skirt and I stumbled across this site. Here is my dilema....</p> <p>I purchased a great, hot pink bikini and wore it without washing....I know, gross. i spent the day in and out fo the pool and at the end of the day I pulled on my favourite white denim Hurley skirt. now there are pink stains ALL over my skirt. Can I save it? I read the care instructions and it says 'do not bleach'. i figure the skirt is ruined so I will gtry anything. Can anyone suggest a cleaning method before I go the Bleach route. </p> <p>Please, please help as this is a staple skirt that fits in my regular rotation! </p>
