Don`t fret over a stained blouse -- these laundry blunders might be easier to fix than you think.

PROBLEM #1: The colors from one item bled into another.
THE FIX: Wash the stained item again, by itself, in warm water with detergent and color-safe bleach, or try washing it with Good Houskeeping Research Institute pick Carbona Color Run Remover ($3, carbona.com), which safely eliminates dye transfer.

PROBLEM #2: There are bits of tissue everywhere.
THE FIX: Before taking out the load, rewash it with a dose of fabric softener added to the final rinse. Pull off whatever you can by hand, then tumble-dry the load (the dryer`s lint filter will capture much of the stuff). Use a dry scrub sponge to remove any remaining stubborn specks.

PROBLEM #3: You smell (or see) mildew.
THE FIX: If your clothes have a sour smell (or, worse, black spots) from having been left in the washer, rewash them with chlorine or color-safe bleach, whichever is safer for the fabric.

PROBLEM #4: A stain is dried-on.
THE FIX: It can be difficult to remove a stain that`s been set by a dryer -- but it may not be impossible. Saturate the spot with Shout Advanced Gel ($5, shoutitout.com) a GHRI VIP Award winner, working it deep into the fabric, and allow it to set overnight. Apply a bit more, then launder with chlorine or color-safe bleach in the warmest water that`s safe for the fabric.
