Laundry Woes

So starting a few weeks ago I was doing laundry as always and when I took out one of my white loads and was hanging up the clothes I noticed one of Ryan's favorite Hurley shirts was yellow all along the collar and sleeves. What the heck?! Nothing else in the load was discolored, just that shirt. So I searched and searched online and tried all the tips and tricks bloggers suggested. Nothing worked. Then, some loads later it happened again with another one of Ryan's shirts. And again and again. Random loads and only one item in the load would be damaged. I could not figure out what was going on! Then, I had an inspiration I should have thought of long before. I called my mommy about my laundry woes. She made some suggestions and told me to try this Clorox Gel Bleach Pen. It was worth a try but after all my research I was afraid it was ruined for good. But I thought even if I could get it a light yellow maybe it would be good enough to keep wearing it. So the before picture is above and here is the after picture. I put a generic white tee on the shirt before and after so you can tell how well it worked.
Woah! MAGIC! You have to sit and watch it so that it doesn't sit so long that it turns your clothes yellow from the bleach. But you can see it work! So cool! Domestic chemistry at work! Thank you mommy for your domestic Jedi wisdom! $3 Clorox pen saved our four shirts (appx. $70 value!
