Help pls. Oxi Clean removed a stain but has left a yellow mark.

I spilled blueberry juice on a white cotton skirt. My DD sprayed the stain with Oxi Clean Laundry Stain Remover. We rinsed it with a cloth but didn't run it under the tap. I washed it this morning (several hours had passed by) and the juice stain has gone but the product has left a noticeable yellowish mark on the skirt.

Does anyone know if there anything I can do to remove this please?

Try sunlight, so hang it out. Even through a window sunlight can lift stains.

Milk apparently lifts stains - combine with sunlight?

MakeJam · 26/07/2016 07:48

Thank you. I have tried white vinegar but it hasn't lifted it. Now trying Milton tablet. Will try milk next and hang it out to dry in the garden. I foresee it will be going in the bin. What a stupid excuse for a product!

Seriously - a day or so in direct sunlight will sort it. No need to spend a lot of time trying all sorts of different things. Plus if you are not rinsing it in cold water after each treatment you will be fixing the stain more and more.

Milton was a serious disaster. The yellowish stain is even bigger now.

Milk soak did nuffink! But ...

rinsed in cold water and skirt now out in the sunshine. Thank you wow and yorkie

Well I left it out in the sun for a few days and it didn't do anything. I was about to cut it up for cleaning rags and saw this in Tesco and thought for a quid I'd give it ago. I put it in the machine with some other whites that were a bit dull and it worked. Stain gone and everything sparkly white again.

Did the Beckmann Glowhite remove the yellow stain caused by the Vanish?

Hi did you manage to get the yellow oxi stain out as i have done the same to my husbands top and need to get the yellow stain out . Looking for a solution. Thanks

Hi Sapna77 - I need to know the answer to this as have just done the same thing to new white top! I am going to try Beckman's Oxywhite and will let you know how it goes : )

Mummytotwo88 · 05/09/2023 13:38

Hi Mandino - did this work for you? I’ve got the same issue too!

ColetteR · 05/09/2023 18:42

The Beckhams didn’t work for me. Keep washing the item with whites only and don’t iron it. It’s gradually fading.

Mandino · 06/09/2023 09:50

I used Dr Beckmans Glowhite on the yellow stain left on my white top and it worked brilliantly! I now use it for my white sheets and they gleam like hotel ones.

Mandino · 06/09/2023 09:51

Yes it worked brilliantly but have to follow instructions for hand soaking to get the best result.

Itsme26 · 12/09/2023 19:24

can anyone confirm if the dr Beckmann works on patterned white clothing. I stupidly left the spray on too long on one of my little girls boutique dresses (white with pink stripes). I soaked overnight and left to dry in the sun and has somewhat faded but not completely. Thanks x

Mandino · 17/09/2023 09:29

I've used Dr Beckmans Glowhite in a mixed bedding wash including white sheets. The sheets brilliant white and no change in the colour of the duvet which is blue. Hope this helps

Itsme26 · 18/09/2023 08:44

Thank you for the reply. I tried it as it couldn’t get any worse. The stuff was brilliant. Removed the yellow stain and it’s perfect. So pleased. Definitely a staple item at home.
