I just got a new shirt on Thursday of last week, and when my mom washed it-hand wash, the red sleaves got some of the red onto the main section of the rest of the white t-shirt! I was completly devested because it happend yesterday night. Can anyone sugguest ways in which I could remove the red marks on the white section and still be able to save my new and beloved t-shirt??

My suggestion janie is to read the post on use's for vinegar.

It suggests using white vinegar to remove stains, good luck.

...or you can dye the whole thing red, which would probably produce two different reds, if it's totally unsalvageable....or even black or blue!

If the garment's instructions said it was hand-washable and your mother adhered to the instructions I should take it back to the shop and ask for a refund. If it was dry clean only and your mother washed it you have no claim.

Darn, I'm too late! I was going to respond just as Sue did - that if you washed it according to directions, you can get a replacement from the store.
