anyway, so far NOBODY has been able to get yellowed parts back to white... I've also tried many processes, but none of them really worked out. Best thing you can do is scrub them to death or as Scr8p suggested, buy new white parts... The last thing I'd like to try is deoxygenated water... you never know

Re: Removing Dye From Nylone Parts
They still look yellow to me
Maybe leave them in overnight? Maybe some denture cleaner?

Re: Removing Dye From Nylone Parts
All of the above have been tried... You'll get 'em clean, but never white if they've yellowed.
Re: Removing Dye From Nylone Parts
Ok....gonna let them sit overnight in bleach, and laundry detergent.

Re: Removing Dye From Nylone Parts
Well, I bet there are no germs on these now!
So what color RIT dye gives the best blue color?

Re: Removing Dye From Nylone Parts
Last question....anyone try this?

Under the fabric care section....
Nylon is the strongest fiber available. White nylon products must be washed separately because they pick up color easily. Rinse in cool water and tumble dry-low. Gray or yellowed nylon can be treated with Mrs. Stewart's Bluing to restore whiteness.

Re: Removing Dye From Nylone Parts
It's worth a shot, but the nylon fibers in clothing are not quite as dense...

Or maybe give up and just dye them...
