I'm not so familiar with using bleach, as in the past I've always had accidents with it.

Anyway, I wanted to bleach some stains on a mostly white t-shirt with a design on it. We don't have our own washing machine--we use a communal washing machine that we pay per load.

How do I go about washing the shirt now that I've treated the stains with bleach--in a regular "hot load" or should I make sure it's a WHITE load? Or just wash it in the sink?

Please help me.

Why is your regular a "got load"? Just wash it as you always do. A little bleach on the shirt won't matter. If you want you can rinse the bleach y pouting water in the treated area.

miami, you treated the stains with bleach and didn't rinse? you need to get that shirt under the faucet NOW. straight bleach can eat through clothes. (I know this from personal experience!)

I only use bleach in my white loads, and if you're about to do one throw this shirt in now. otherwise, rinse it!

(for future reference, bleach and water in a dish, and use q-tips on the places where there are stains. sometimes I need to dab over the spot a few times, but it a safer bet.)

It was a Clorox bleach pen.
