Oxy-Clean or bleach alternative(NOT actual bleach). Wash it on warm a few times, or if you’re very attentive, wash it on hot, but don’t let it rinse with cold water. Stop the washer when it gets to the Rinse cycle and switch the dial to warm rinse. If you have to reset it, go all the way back to the rinse cycle, or just start it over with a warm wash and warm rinse cycle.
If you leave it on cold after a hot wash, it may shrink the shirt. If you wash the entire cycle on cold, it may set the dye, making it much harder or even impossible to get out.
Putting the shirt in with white clothes will help agitate the fabric and get more dye out. I would do a smaller load, though.
You should only wash jeans with jeans on a cold water cycle. If you need to wash other clothes together, make sure they have been washed at least 3 or 4 times. Use cold water and less detergent.
Extra tips:
Use a little less detergent than the bottle says to, about a half inch below the recommended line.
Put the detergent in the washer as the water is running, THEN put the clothes in on top once the washer is a little full of water.
The colder the water, the less detergent you should use. Use half inch increments.
This is because if you use too much detergent, it will stick to your clothes, causing more dirt to stick. This will break down the fabric faster, and make it harder to get the dirt out later.
And never wash anything red with anything else
