I bleach my bathroom through rugs and they turned pink. There was nothing else in the washing machine it would turn them. What can I do to get them white again?

Unfortunately there was something small in the wash but if you've dried these rugs, its over or try using some chlorine or bleach again but something tells me that these were cheap rugs and the white of the rugs actually washed out so you have nothing to lose now by trying it again. Good luck

Did you put them in the dryer? If so there is nothing you can do because the heat will have set the color. Next are the rugs cotton or a synthetic fiber? If they are cotton you can try to wash and rebleach them. If they are synthetic, it may have been reaction to the bleach that caused the problem. Also make sure your detergent does not contain a non-chlorine bleach in it, as it counter acts chlorine bleach.
