As you can see, most of the damage is apparent on the sleeves. It was a horrible dark brown that was very noticeable on the light grey sweatshirt. (I took the pics to show my mom the damage)
I immediately took to the Internet in search of a cure for my mistake. I had no problem finding all sorts of homemade remedies and such but none really seemed like it made sense. I then decided to enlist the help of a wise woman, my mom, who gave me some advice.
She had said that her mother had used a product years ago that seemed to work on everything and that she had seen it at the store recently. She suggested that I try to find it.
This was my magic product! Fels-Naptha!
I simply wet the stained/dyed areas with cool water and then rubbed the bar directly on the stains. It kinda made a whitish color but I figured I had nothing to lose. I immediately put it in a cool wash of Tide to see if I was successful. And let me say, I was very pleased with the results.
There is some shadowing in the picture but let me assure you, I have asked multiple people and they can see no dye on the sweatshirt and neither can I. I was absolutely thrilled and as I was sitting here in my comfy I thought I would share my results in case some of you may have done the same thing.
I can not guarantee you will have the same results or that you should even try this...I'm just saying that it worked for me with my old comfy sweatshirt.
