How to remove color bleed stain?

Recently, I bought some new cloths, one of them is a jean, and some other white cloths. By accident, I washed the jeans together with other light colored cloths, and the white cloths got colored. When I finished washing, I didn't notice since it was at night and I couldn't see clearly. So when I noticed, the cloths were already dry. Immediately I tried using bleaches but unfortunately it didn't work, is there any way to remove the stain?
