un-pinking my whites

[juldea]

I am a great big huge enthusiastic fan of Rit dye's Color Remover. I accidentally pinked all of my white dress shirts last night in the laundry (doh!), and one box of Rit Color Remover has brought them back to their glorieous whiteness. I can't express in words how pleased I am. Yay!

In other news, when walking over the filthy Malden canal today, I suddenly desired to go swimming. In natural water, although I wouldn't turn down an invitation to a pool if it were offered to me. But I want to be in water... Anyone know of a where/how/when?

Wow. I wish I'd known about the Color Remover when I pinked Nick's PT shirt.

Yeah, it was awesome stuff. I suggest picking some up from the states just to have on hand - I ended up using only one box (I bought two) to whiten all the pinks I had (four button-down shirts, one t-shirt, one pair of underwear, three socks, and one of those twisty hair towels). So now one sits in my closet for those "just in case" times.

The reward goes to londo for finding out about it. I called him from the laundromat (near tears), and he used google to find a few different solutions. The Color Remover wasn't -bleach-, so I decided to try it instead of doing possibly bad things to the fibers of my shirts. :)

unwhiting your colours

Does it uncolour things that are supposed to be coloured?

There are a handful of beaches in Wellesley. Next time you and Conor hook up here, we could go to one and swim in the frothy algae soup.

Rar!

Yes, if you put a dyed item into the solution the color will fade. The colored tags on my shirts didn't, though...

I like beaches. Are they lake or river beaches?

so what's in the color remover? something other than bleach?

It's hydrogen something-starting-with-s. The boxes are at home. I will attempt to remember to find out for you. It's something you don't want to inhale, eat, or have on your skin for too long in heavy amounts.
