I have been using it in all of my wash.</p> <p>Yankeebelle I glad that your fabric came back to life after drying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359881 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 23:03:19 +0000 Jjsloane 359881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually had faded spots on some Talbots khakis I bought. I only had All Free and clear and some baking soda in the load so not sure what happened. I now have stylish gardening pants I guess. Some cottons don't work well with Oxiclean either (I used to put it in all my washloads until I ruined a few kid items) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359867 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 22:37:32 +0000 kellygirl 359867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I thought I had ruined DH's shorts--I was SO relieved when they disappeared. Glad it worked out for you too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359814 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 20:53:12 +0000 yankeebelle 359814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kellygirl! The faded spots are gone now that the pants are dry. (I let them air dry.)<br /> That's so strange! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359785 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 20:17:38 +0000 yankeebelle 359785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jonsey, the color is "shale brown".<br /> That's weird though!</p> <p>I am definitely going to take them back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359739 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:36:10 +0000 MsMary 359739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would definitely take them back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359711 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 18:01:23 +0000 Jonesy 359711@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are the pants sort of olive-y brown, and the spots are sort of peachy color? This happens a lot to me with this color of cotton, when it's inexpensive. Something about the dye, I'm guessing. It has actually happened to me with a Loft olive green shirt, after one wash. I didn't try to return it, but I noted it and vowed not to buy that color from them again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359707 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 17:55:29 +0000 yellowgirl 359707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have any experience returning things to ATL, but I can't imagine any reputable company not refunding for that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359687 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 17:40:22 +0000 kellygirl 359687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How strange. DH has some cotton shorts that did the same thing--only the color evened up back to normal when they were dry. I'd take them back and hope ATL stands by their product. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359686 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 17:35:06 +0000 AJ 359686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would take it back and show them what happened after one wash. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359685 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 17:35:03 +0000 modgrl 359685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take them back!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oh-no-laundry-disaster-what-do-i-do#post-359681 Wed, 01 Jun 2011 17:31:19 +0000 yankeebelle 359681@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I washed my new beloved brown cropped pants from ATL and they came out with a few areas that are faded, like there was maybe bleach in the washer...but we don't use bleach! So I know there isn't any in the machine. Plus, there aren't spots on any of the other clothes! They aren't white spots, but rather faded areas of the pants.<br /> What do I do? I wore them once! Will ATL take them back? Or will I sound crazy if I try to do that? </p>
