I accidentally washed my white bikini w/ other whites and it turned yellow!!?
Try color safe bleach like Clorox 2
Reply:That's kinda funny. Not for you though, because now other people might think you soiled it.
Anyway, you can bleach it without affecting the flowers if the embroidered material is synthetic. If it's cotton or something, which it most likely is not, since it's a swimsuit and needs to hold up to chlorine, then the bleach will affect them. But more than likely, you'll be ok bleaching it.
Think of it this way: if you feel it's already ruined, then there's no loss if you bleach it and something goes wrong.
Good luck anyway.
Reply:It's not an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weenie, yellow polka-dotted pair is it...?
Reply:you can spot clean it with bleach avoiding the embroidered flowers. or if you didn't put it in the dryer you can use Spray n' Wash or something like that.
Reply:Usually, it's bleach that will turn a white into a yellow. Unless you've already bleached it...I don't know why it would do that.
Reply:put it in a pot with warm water, and a little detergent, stir alittle.
oxy clean.
it works.
happened to me too!
Reply:If, your other whites were bleached, then most likely there is nothing that you can do. When you bleach synthetics they tend to yellow and it is permanent (because you damage the fibers). However, if your did not bleach the load, you may be able to use a detergent meant to prevent colors from fading or add a cup of the following to your laundry: Clorox II non bleach alternative, vinegar, oxyclean, or peroxide and soak the suit.
Good luck.
Reply:First: is it a solid yellow?? or blotchy??? if it is solid, leave it be... Its prolly really cute that way.........
if its not, or if its blotchy, try bleaching it. Try using Clorox something ( i cant remember-- try google to find the exact name) It bleaches what needs to be bleached, but keeps purposely colored parts fresh and vibrant!
Hope this helped!! Its a bummer about what happened to your suit--- be more careful next time.........

Reply:put some polka dots on it and hum "yellow polka dot bikini ...
Reply:its definatly ruined
Reply:use bleach for colors or wash it with oxyclean
Reply:buy a new pair.
Reply:OXY CLEAN AS SEEN ON TV
Reply:I agree with the color safe bleach as about your only choice, but I think chances are it will not return to white because it seems to have dyed. If it doesn't work, why not try bleach and see how the flowers come out? Assuming you don't want it to appear yellow, then what do you have to lose?
Reply:Please do not use bleach, as has been suggested. If your item has lycra/spandex listed on the care label, you could ruin it, as bleach yellows spandex. You could try bluing, (I've never used it) but be very careful, it is a type of dye.
Reply:Bleach it
Reply:Now you have a sexy ''Yellow'' bikini!
:(
Reply:I'd bleach it. Make sure everything is white. And when its cleaned, take some pictures of yourself so that we can all check out your nice body.
Reply:There is something in the laundry department called bluing.You can very carefully try that.Use very little.
Reply:you can try a bleach pen
Reply:bluing might help. But it may be a gonner
Reply:Well, u can say you peed on it...its ok Sh*t happens...
Reply:Some materials react badly to bleach. Try a little bluing.
Reply:Pour a bottle of peroxide in your white wash. Not only do they come out white but also bright. It will not hurt the colored flowers.
Reply:sweet!
Reply:Switch to paint-on bikinis. Then it's always the color you want.
Reply:The bluing is a good suggestion but make sure to mix it with the water before adding the bikini into it or it can leave blue stains. You can also try adding some Cascade dishwasher soap to the wash and let it soak for at least a half an hour. I've always used the granule type so I'm not sure if there's a difference between the gel and granules. 20 Mule Borax might also work. Hope these help.
Reply:oops!
try vanish or another stain remover
if that fails bleach it or get another one
Reply:Soak it overnight in a mixture of warm water and Oxyclean. Run the water hot and add the Oxyclean, stirring it. When the Oxyclean is all dissolved immerse your swimsuit. Every couple of hours kinda stir it around. I got 10 year old formula stains out of a baby outfit doing this...although it took soaking it for about 4-5 days, it all came out. Good luck!
Reply:i was going to suggest using "yellow out" but it might discolor your flowers...it will however get the yellowish color out of your bikini. If the bleach or oxyclean doesn't do it, try this.
Reply:If it is made of polyester , bleach will yellow it. Sorry
