I have tried absolutely everything to get my white jeans white again. Before I first washed them, not reading the washing instructions I put a cap of bleach in the wash to brighten them, they looked patchy pink on the line but dried patchy yellow, tried lemon juice, vinegar, .bi carb, glow white still yellow.
Has anyone dyed something they have ruined, if so what colour is best or should I just bin them.

Why not dye them they would probably make fantastic tie dye I love tie dye never fully goes out of fashion Much better than chucking them

White is the perfect basis for dying anything. I would go for a dark colour though as otherwise the stained patch may still be visible.

No need to throw them away if your latest experiment (posted yesterday at 18:35) doesn't work.

Alternatively you could embroider or applique a pretty flower over the spot.

Napisan works but saying that I’m not sure after you have used bleach

I'd always suggest the sun but bleached yellow things never come right again
