White Becomes Colourful...

For the past few months, I did not have a helper... I did my own washing and ironing... And the disastrous results came out such as these.... my girl's school shirts are gone for good.....

Instead of white school shirts, she now has 3 different colours....
BLUISH... REDDISH.... BROWNISH!!

Poor girl, I have to buy some new shirts for her...
at least to last her for another two months.... sigh...
What a mother!

errr, you didn't try to bleach them back to white??

Ginny said...

Well, they are pretty pastels, perhaps she could make an outfit from them when not in school. Did you wash them with colors? Do you have a maid?

ya..luckily it is an all white shirt so bleaching will help to make it back to original white, hehe..

Not bad, looks ok. How did you manage to get 3 different colours.

Oh... what a surprise... To prevent similar situation from occuring again, you can ask your daughter to do the cleaning herself. When dealing with her own uniform, I believe she will carry out her job well.

claire, better not tell what washing powder you are using..people dont know thought it's the after effect of the detergent..looking from left to right, you spoil the company's imagelah..sssshhhh!! hahaha!

gigi-hawaii said...

I think those 3 colors are very nice. She can wear them when not in school.

ladyviral said...

soak it in bleah but nothing more than 3 hours. else it will spoil the material.

if it doesn't work, guess she can wear it for normal outings :p.

Humph! I wore a new pair of shorts, bought in Penang sometime ago...dark blue in colour. I was afraid the colour would run so I put at one side,not with the rest of the laundry but my missus just mixed it with the rest and threw into the machine. Habis...now everything else is dark blue too... Tsk! Tsk!

Soak it with bleach and some washing detergent, leave it overnight, it's help.
