Q. I have several white camisoles that are made of basic stretchy tee-shirt cotton, with lace at the throat and for the straps. I washed them with Clorox Ultimate Bleach in an all-white load. Now, the shirts are brilliantly white, but all the lace on every shirt turned a pale ice blue. How can I get the lace white again?

A. I wondered if these camisoles had been previously washed with liquid bleach (Clorox® UltimateCare™ Bleach) or was this their first exposure to liquid bleach?
I'm suspecting that the camisole and the lace are 2 different materials (the body probably has a high Spandex® content while the lace may be nylon). Sometimes certain nylons contain a "brightener" to enhance their appearance. These brighteners are susceptible to change when the wash water has a higher pH, which UltimateCare™ Bleach usage can cause.
Unfortunately, this is not reversible as the chemical structure of the brightener has been changed during washing.
