Can you bleach shirts w/ transfers on them?

Let's just say I had a mommy moment and tossed in the shirt with the huge pink design with all the other shirts for washing in vinegar and now all the shirts have a pink hue and/or bright pink splotches all over them.

I've got them all soaking in the machine right now but I'm not sure what to do. Maybe oxiclean would help w/o ruining the transfers?

well in case anyone ever needs to know. Yes you can bleach transfers. LOL I filled the washer with hot water and bleach and put in the shirts in for 5secs and they were fixed. The only issue so far with the transfers is that they are now faded. But I'd rather faded transfers than pink shirts!

Thanks for the tip delmar-
Isn't it great how we find the solution for our blunders is to just experiment?
& It always makes it so worth it when it works!

OMG so sorry to hear that. let us know how they hold up over time (they may deteriorate faster due to the harshness of the bleach but then again... maybe not!)
