Re: socks havr changed colour
Are you talking about the stuff called “neel”?
Either use bleach or just repeated washings.The bluish color will go away.

Lol Nadz! Sounds like you’re referring to “bluing”…I didn’t know people still used that, it’s seen much in the US anymore
“Bluing, laundry blue, dolly blue or washing blue is a household product used to improve the appearance of textiles, especially white fabrics. Used during laundering, it adds a trace of blue dye (often synthetic ultramarine, sometimes Prussian blue) to the fabric. White fabrics acquire a slight color cast after use (usually grey or yellow). Since blue and yellow are complementary colors in the subtractive color model of color perception, adding a trace of blue color to the slightly off-white color of these fabrics makes them appear whiter. Laundry detergents may also use fluorescing agents to similar effect. Many white fabrics are blued during manufacturing. Bluing is not permanent and rinses out over time leaving dingy or yellowed whites. A commercial bluing product allows the consumer to add the bluing back into the fabric to restore whiteness.”
Maybe you used to much? Have you tried simple bleach? That should take it back to it’s original “whiteness”.
Re: socks havr changed colour
ohhh dear I hate that blue color thing too ..
Bleach the whites , leave them soaked in for a couple minutes before you wash them and ensure you never ever use that blue coloring again !

Fair 'n lovely :smack:
Nadz…seriously…are we now to believe that you don’t know what liquid bleach is and that it’s not available in Pakistan?
The clear stuff…that smells really strong…and will turn anything to white that it touches?!?
Re: socks havr changed colour
lol…neil…just soak them in warm/hot water for 1/2 an hour and they will be fine. Next time, make sure you don’t use more than a pinch in a bucket of water.
Re: socks havr changed colour
does she sound like she knows the first thing about washing clothes? its the kamwali 
Re: socks havr changed colour
Lol queer!
So nadz, just tell the kaam wali to use less Neil or request your MIL to talk to her.
Re: socks havr changed colour
bluing is fine…I bleach some stuff but bleach does a number on fabric. if you use that blue in thing..first use a small amount, second dilute it in water where the clothes are going in first. read instructions, and if no instructions, search online, tons of info out there you know
