How to Get Yellow Stains Out of White Polyester
- Dab the stain with stain remover stick. Pour 1/4 cup heavy-duty liquid detergent directly on the stain.
- Wait 30 minutes and wash in a gentle wash cycle on cold. Examine the garment.
- Dry the garment on low and remove it when it is damp dry. Polyester wrinkles easily in a hot dryer.
Likewise, can you bleach white polyester? Bleach is generally not recommended for polyester fabrics; it doesn't react well with the fibers to remove color, and it can actually degrade the fabric. Check the care label first -- if it specifies "No Bleach," proceed at your own peril. Instead of a sparkling white garment, you may end up with a dingy yellow one.
