How do I Fix a Shirt That Did Not Tie Dye?
- 1). Set the water level of your washing machine to adequately cover the shirt. Run hot water into the washing machine's tub.
- 2). Add 1 tbsp. of liquid bleach per gallon of hot water and your favorite laundry detergent. Start the washing cycle and let it run for 2 minutes before putting the shirt into the washer. This will ensure the bleach and detergent are mixed well with the wash water.
- 3). Place the shirt into the washer and complete the wash and rinse cycle. Remove the shirt, but do not put it in the dryer.
- 4). Dye the entire shirt with a darker shade than previously used, or repeat the tie dye process. If an adequate amount of dye has been removed or faded, dyeing the shirt a second time will cover previous dye.
