Big towel oops

[duke4165]

So after I did my first giant detail on my car, paint correction, sealant, wax and all. I had left my towels on top of the washer for when I got home from work. My girlfriend had put them in the wash, she washed them correctly but left all the towels together, so Adams towels, green CG, black CG, and a few odds and ends. some of these towels had alot of black residue from CG black wax. so when I get home my Adams towels are all a slight gray now. you can tell it was just bleed through of the other towels. Is there any way to ge these back to white for my sanity lol? They feel just as the did out of the package and still do their job but it kills my OCD, thanks for any advice!

Not really.  The staining on the white towels from the colored towels might fade some as you wash the white ones multiple times, but I have found that the color bleed never goes away from a white towel.

 

I would also think that the black wax was not really the issue, it was the black towels that turned your white towels gray.

Best thing to do is to rewash them.

If you have it rewash them with Adam's Micorfiber Revitalizer. A few year back when working in the yard my wife was using a wet great white on her neck to keep cool, well she had colored hair and it bled to the towel. 1 wash in Revitalizer and I can't pick out which one it was when it went back to the container with the rest of them.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I figured it would be tough to get the bleed out, I'll try out the Revitalizer as a last resort but as long as they till do theyre amazing towels I'll be fine. Just gives me an excuse to buy more lol
