Can you help me save this garment??

I have a shirt that I love, sort of like the one below, from Loft. Its a cream/ivory colored poly gathered camisole. I washed it last week, but mid wash the machine broke before the rinse cycle, and the color of it got very dingy. I tried to rewash it - I even tried to put it in with my bleach load, but its still got this dull grayish blueish tinge.

I've tried finding a replacement on eBay but to no avail. I'd even take this similar version on loft, but they're sold out in my size Chat Icon

Is there anything that I can do to restore this shirt to its original color?

Try soaking it in Oxyclean. not sure if it will work, but it has worked for me on yellowed whites.

Yes-that's what I use. There are suggested proportions on the back. I make it on the stronger side & leave it overnight.


It's a good product to have. We add it to our wash, but I also you it for stain removal on clothes and on carpets.

There is also something made by RIT that takes color out. I used it when some whites ended up in the wrong wash and they ended up that same color you described.
