Black Dye Transferred in the Wash?

I usually wash different colored jeans separately, but didn't this time. I washed a new pair of black jeans with bleach-washed blue jeans and now the blue jeans have black dye on them everywhere. Anyone have any great tricks to remove the black dye from the blue jeans? I am trying hard to save them. Thanks.

I've heard that soaking the affected garment in cool water with OxiClean for 8 hours (before re-laundering) can help remove the transferred dye stain.

Hopefully you have not put the affected jeans in the dryer - if you have - it may take longer to clear up the stains - or maybe never..

Sometimes you can help a few stains with Pghgirl's solution from another question (I tried it and it worked).

"I have had luck with covering the stain with a thin layer of baking soda and adding a few drops of white vinegar until it bubbles up. Then rub in a few drops of simply Dawn dish soap. Not the x power or any but the original. Sometimes it takes two treatments but usually works for me. Wash in cold once stains are gone to get rid of vinegar smell."

If there are stains all over I have mixed blue Dawn with a little Oxiclean in warm to hot water in the smallest wash setting and left it to soak overnight. Just use 1/4 cup or less of Dawn and a tablespoon or so of Oxiclean; turn on machine to mix and soak overnight; then wash as usual.
Do not place in dryer - dry outside if possible but air dry.
Check for stains - you may have to treat your jeans twice no matter what treatment you use.
