Will OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover fade my colored clothing? OxiClean™ Versatile Stain Remover is color safe.
Oxyclean will fade dark clothes and colored clothes because it has a bleaching effect when you use too much or soaked for a long time. Also because hot water causes clothes to lose their color pigments into water. Hot water also sets in stains in clothes.
OxiClean™ can help fix ink and marker stains, and the worry that goes with it.
Oxi must be dissolved completely or it can leave little bleached spots on your dark clothes. If I'm washing in cold I dissolve some oxi first in hot water and add it to the washer. As long as you don't let the oxi dry on the garments you can have all of the stain fighting benefits and no harm to darks.
Oxygen bleach can help whiten whites, brighten colors, and works with items that say “Do Not Use Chlorine Bleach.” Plus, it's safe to use on all colored and patterned items!

Soaking clothes in Oxiclean for too long can make the fabric weaker. This is especially true for delicate fabrics like wool, silk, or spandex. The cleaning stuff in Oxiclean is great for getting rid of stains, but if it sits on your clothes for ages, it can start to break down the fibers.
Chlorine bleach also causes fading and yellowing in the long run, and it ultimately weakens fabrics, leaving holes in your clothes. Oxygen bleach Oxygen bleach (like OxiClean) is an alternative to chlorine bleach, and it's safe for many fabrics. You can use it to remove stains on colors, as well as whites.
Apply a solvent like rubbing alcohol, hair spray, or hand sanitizer to an inconspicuous area of the garment with a cotton swab and let it sit for 1 to 3 minutes.

While wearing gloves, simply brew up enough dark coffee to fill a bowl or bucket, place your jeans inside and leave them to soak overnight. In the morning, pop them in the wash on a gentle cycle with no detergent. Finally, all you have to do is allow them to dry and get wearing them!
Let stand for 5 minutes or up to a week, depending on the severity of the stain. For set-in stains, allow the spray to penetrate overnight or up to a week. For fabrics prone to color change, do not let stand longer than 5 minutes. Do not treat the garment while wearing it.
White vinegar in particular contains a mild acid called acetic acid that helps to lock in dye and prevent fabric bleeding. It's best to set the dye in your new jeans when you first get them and during every wash after that. Without using vinegar to lock in the color of your jeans, they may fade prematurely.
OxiClean™ is free of chlorine and preservatives, so it's safe on colors and gentle on your clothing – without sacrificing performance or leaving chemical residues. Many detergents break down the fibers and dyes in laundry as they clean, causing severe fading overtime.

For other readers of this old advice, Oxiclean is 'basic' and vinegar is 'acidic' Mixing them should yield a more neutral PH as they neutralize each other out. It should produce salt and water, not a corrosive acid. Mixing is still bad though, since it reduces their independent cleaning powers.
The ONLY detergent that gets out tough stains better than this stuff is Persil. And the difference is very very very small. So small I miight even be just imagining there is a difference when there is none really. I have seen a study that said Persil is 2% better so, I might be influenced by that study.
