bleaching coloured tuffs?
« on: May 11, 2011, 10:47 PM »
Not to try and make them white :idiot2:

I have a pair of coloured tuffs that have really ingrained dirt marks from being in a shed for years by the looks of it.

Anyone tried it or got any tips for cleaning?

CIF maybe?

Put up a picture of them

i have done a few sets - bleach - dyed

best is to warm wash them first - dishwasher works but misses won't be best pleased - do it when she is out  ;D

then depending on if they are faded or have stubborn grease marks and dirt ingrained - you can bleach them - but this will take the colour out more - you can dye them after - but if using, the brake marks/rub with show up what originally was  ;)
