Please help! I've ruined my daughters whitefox hoody

[Weezee0409]

So it was my daughters 11th birthday Friday she asked if she could have a whitefox hoody as one of her presents. I bought it in January and took weeks to pay it off on klarna. She wore it twice over weekend and had a few marks on it so instead of washing the whole hoody to try and keep it in good condition for longer I tried to spot stain the marks and I didn't rinse out the stain remover properly and then stupidly put it out on the line to dry in the sun and when I went to get it in to my horror it had big bright yellow stains dotted all over it! 🙈 she's crying, I'm crying because I can't afford a new one. I'm so gutted .
I've washed it 3 times since, tried vinegar and more laundry detergent on it and still no different.

Any help and advice to get these out would be gratefully received. Thanks guys .

Mix baking soda and hydrogen peroxide until a paste - use a small soft brush - like a tooth brush to gently run it into the yellow mark. Leave for no longer than 15 mins and rinse with cold water. Repeat until it’s gone.

Then wash it and add white vinegar to the wash. Don’t add fabric soften until the stains are gone.

If the stain won’t come out then consider dying it to another colour.

My goodness I thought the OP had purchased a hoodie made from a weird white furred fox ....

Is this, pretty bland, hoodie expensive? I'm failing to see anything 'special' about it? I was in M&S recently and they have similar items by the ton !!!

But I'd just throw the item into a dark wash with something that will run and let that sort out the issue by making the garment a bit darker .....

Any joy op? I’m over invested!

To those suggesting that the garment can be dyed: Dylon fabric dye will not take as well on the bleached areas and the overall end result will most likely be patchy. It might stain the logo too. It's not worth the extra expense.

@ OP, there are some good deals on the White Fox website including 15% off a first purchase. Can you get a friend to order one your behalf and pay by Klarna?

I am so sorry this happened.

It does look unrecoverable. Can you get a replacement on Vinted, Ebay or Marketplace?

The DD is probably just getting into fashion. I don't think an M&S hoodie is going to be quite the same as a White Fox one at her age.

Bless her, she was probably over the moon to have a cool present. If that's what the kids are wearing.

I can understand why OP is upset.

I'm no spring chicken but I can still remember being young.

Temu have them

Please no…for all sorts of ethical reasons…but also this is her daughters birthday gift, why would it be replaced with a cheap copy.

I’d be really upset with myself as well so I don’t think you’re overreacting, when you save up or have to pay something off over a few months it’s really frustrating when you accidentally wreck it, I shrank a lovely jumper by not paying attention which I had brought with some birthday money my parents had given me with strict instructions to treat myself as they know I always spend my money in the kids first.
If it doesn’t come out with a soak, I’d definitely dye it, as long as it contains some natural fibres it should take really well, a charcoal grey perhaps and when I’ve done trainers before the logo wasn’t affected as not penetrated by the dye. I think I paid £6 for one dye pod and just chucked it on the machine with them. Worth a go as someone else has said I doubt she’ll wear it as it is.

I can too. My parents never bought me the ‘right’ thing, always too expensive, often similar but not the same. Awful.

For what it's worth can you ask a dry cleaner if they can do it or have suggestions? They may have specialized knowledge and can even fix bleach spots in certain cases.

OP will be better off soaking it, washing it and then line drying it.

@Hastentoadd , I regularly dye things with Dylon, and wouldn't dye that one.
It's probably at least 50% polyester, if not higher.

@Rightbackinit , Same here. I'd get something my parents thought was 'better'. Didn't go without, but treats were Christmas and birthdays only, and I have a January birthday.
Christmas meant something like a sensible hideous bag instead of the cool one I had asked for. Birthday was 'something to open', which usually meant something from the sale in the shop next to the supermarket.
They'd not get used, so my mother eventually got the hint.
It was so disappointing. My one special day only to get some horrible acrylic jumper in a colour I detested, then 11 months until the next present.
I know they meant well, and not their fault that my birthday was before January payday, but it was more theirs than mine.

😀 can tell you don’t have an 11 year old! White fox versus m and s..not quite the same!

@Weezee0409 have you had any luck removing the stains?

Please let us know how you get on 😊

Such an unnecessary comment at the start! It may be bland to you but for a young girl they are all the rage. Thanks for the tip on putting it in the wash with darker garment though

White Fox hoodie are the current teen/tween 'thing' I don't understand why people have to be assholes.

We had a similar thing happen here and had good success with a dylon dye, it was a darker one. It will fade so the marks will start to show again but we are limiting washing and I'll just do it again. Worth a go when you've tried everything else.

Oh god I have flashbacks to "nicks" trainers 😫

I really don’t think you should shell out any more on dyes or stain removers-by the time you’ve done that it’s cost the same as a klarna payment towards a new one.

@Inthevillages , I agree, and it might make it worse not better.

I feel I'm invested in the progress of your hoodie.

Once you've done the salt/vanish soak, you don't have much to lose by pegging in the sun again.

With the original chemical removed it may lift out. Even if the whole jumper fades a little it would still be better.

Yeah I wouldn’t even use one stain remover on non-white clothes, let alone two. You live and you learn.

Amazon has a £20 dupe if that helps? amzn.eu/d/bvKJUKR

I don’t think that will come out. Better to get another one when you can. I’ve read a few threads here about problems washing White Fox items. I’m sure that some of the hoodies are actually marked as handwash only, so check that if you get another one.
