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 .

White Fox is a total pile of crap. We had a similar colour one for my daughter. I washed it and it came out the wash with odd brown stains all over, like someone had spilt tea. Except they were in odd places like the upper sleeve. It was clearly as issue with the fabric.

i complained and they basically said they couldn’t help because I used a handwashing setting on my washing machine rather than actually handwashing it, so I hadn’t followed the instructions. Not that that would have any impact on the shitty fabric which was faulty.

i refuse to buy them ever again.

What's with all the I assume bots promoting hacoo. I downloaded it and spent 20 minutes looking through. There's a load of shit on there but definitely no white fox, fake or otherwise.

You have to be given links, either through someone you know or a Facebook page, then it takes you through to the brands. Some of them don’t show the branding either (Nike is a little line for example, not the swoosh) but you know what they are through the link. Definitely not a bot!

OP, let us know tomorrow how things are?

Hi. Sorry guys I'm struggling to keep up with the comments and reply to everyone. I've tried white vinegar, someone suggested a glowhite by dr beckmann but that didnt work either, need to try bicarbonate soda next when I get hold of some. My mum also soaked it in oxi powder but nothing has worked as of yet. Thank you to everyone who has commented and tried to help with tips.and advice its greatly appreciated. There are some amazing people in this world some whom have private messaged me and been very generous and kind 😇 Thank you 😊

Ah that's shit. I know it's not helpful right now, but these White Fox hoodies get weird stains and patches on them that don't come out regardless of what you do in my experience.

DD has a dark grey one that got some sort of grease type stain on out of nowhere, that won't come out.

Dying it is definitely your best option, it cant make it worse

🤞 for you.

I ruined a pair on mint coloured jeans with that stuff. It left yellow marks on them.

OP, it isn’t stained. The fabric has been bleached. You’re trying to remove stains. They aren’t stains.

She knows it’s bleach. Can people read?! Anyway, I assume the OPs last update means someone has replaced it for a new one for her DD

I saw on social media that lemon and salt rubbed into a bleach stain can restore it. I haven't tried it but resolved to do it next time I do this (I feel your pain, I recently left a T-shirt outside with stain remover on it and did the same thing)

Social media talks shit! Bleach doesn't stain, it removes colour. Lemon juice can't put back the dye your bleach has taken out, how could it? The lemon doesn't know what shade your garment was.

Dyeing something with bleach marks will almost certainly give terrible results. You'd have to bleach all of the existing colour right out of the whole garment, then dye it. With man-made fibres even that's unpredictable, as bleach can change their composition so they take up more/less of the dye than expected.

I really hope some kind MNer has sorted you out, OP

FWIW, I'm now wearing joggers with an applique patch on the leg, covering up where I splashed bleach on them FIRST TIME I wore them. I don't like applique patches 😬

@GarlicSmile can't help but agree with you on this 😂😂

Plus isn’t lemon juice a natural bleaching agent? Remembering back to the Just17 tip of putting it in your hair in the summer = cheap highlights!

Definitely don't do this!

You can get dye specifically for polyester, I've never had any problems with it, including when used on bleach stained hairdressing towels.

Really? do people really buy new clothes to send to total strangers on MN? Or do they send money?

If you got enough people offering, you could make a profit!

Random tip for a bleach splash. If you have a few little spots and its a match for a Sharpie colour, colouring in the bleached spot with the Sharpie and leaving it to dry can cover it to a degree to make it wearable. It's especially good on black and dark blue.

Make sure you wash it on its own the first time you wash it after Sharpie-ing but after that it can be washed normally.

It's very effective for those tiny little splash points of bleach.

Yes. That’s why you need to be really careful not to get sucked in to foodbank/breadline type threads.

The OP here seems legit obvs but many aren’t. Someone upthread mentioned they’d sent a DM.

I've never had any success with Vanish, maybe I'm using it wrong🤔 I always treat stains by rubbing in non bio washing liquid then washing as normal with washing caps, it very rarely lets me down

If the vanish soak doesn't work. Then consider dying it a darker shade perhaps a sunshine yellow and hope the stains blend in. It's been my go to answer to a few of my favourite clothes being marked. Gives them a new lease of life.

Accidents happen, it wasn’t deliberate. Nobody died. Turn it into a life lesson for your daughter.

Try white spirit when you exhausted all options.
im so sad for you and your daughter id be so upset too. Unfortunately these designer things don’t wash well. My DD had an expensive hollister hoody years ago and that was a nightmare.

Oh and dye any clothes in a bucket I would trust dye transferring to later washes

Yes that's the one. Thanks for looking x

Have you tried alcohol hand gel?
My sons biro leaked all over his white hoodie. Used a ton of alcohol gel and it worked. I rubbed it in used nail brush. Looked worse at first though until washed. Good luck 👍
