No, we aren’t talking the average FAB moral code !

Does anyone know a fabric or clothing /textile specialist? I have a problem with a white shirt!

TIA

Ive got a shirt that is composed of:

73%polyamide 27% elastane

Washcare - Machine wash

It started as brilliant white but has gone a rather dull off white in just one wash. Believe I may have washed too hot.

I’ve tried oxy white crystals in with my usual soap etc to revive the brightness.

Anyone know this fabric and could kindly offer advice please?

Did you wash it together with something that isn't white ?

Soak in a bucket of napisan over night and then put in the washing machine as normal.

Sounds like you washing machine is dirty rather than having a detergent problem...

Tip. Two dishwasher tablets on high and let it run.. clean the filter also..

I washed it on 60. The label says 30, having checked.

I suspect that it may be rip for the shirt, but how frustrating!

Man made fibres can’t generally be dyed or bleached. Buy a new one and hand wash in future.

Can you get another, or is it an old favourite?

It's unlikely that you'll get that fabric back to white.

You could try hanging it out in bright sunshine

Yes, this ^^

Also works well for stained white chopping boards!

It’s a new favourite. And cost a small fortune! I can’t justify buying another but will try the advice here and then see

Definitely hang up and dry in direct sun light, works a treat! I have a teen with multiple white t-shirts, that now come home stained with Jaeger after a night out

I advise only ever buying cotton or high cotton content shirts especially white ones. Man made fibres almost always discolour if they're white.

You could hand wash with a 5% solution of hydrogen peroxide. I could damage the material though. You may want to test on an innocuous area first.

What kind off white and if it good quality

If it’s not a off white and it’s not pigment died white or anything like that and good quality

And there’s no other colour in the shirt at all

Turn the washing machine on let the drum fill a little the put bleach in the water then put the shirt in

Let it run should take the stain out

The run the washer empty after words to give it a rise out

Worked for me with a stone island ghost shirt that I spilled jd and cola down
