Day 170 of 2025

Update on my purple dye splotched jean jacket:
I took the advice from the comments and did a Google search. 
While vinegar did come up so did Borax natural laundry booster. 
I happen to already own a box of Borax so I put half a cup in a large bucket 
and added the hottest water I could get from my tap. 
I submerged the jacket and let it soak. 
I can't remember how long I let it soak
 but I'm sure the water was no longer hot. 
When I poured the water out, it was purple. 
I rinsed the jacket and then put it in a regular laundry load. 
It worked fabulously. 
There is no trace of purple splotches.

  1. So happy you were able to restore your jacket to like new again. I will remember the Borax tip.
