i have just ruined my sons designer shirt in the wash.
although i washed by hand i decided to rinse and spin in the washer.
the colour has run from another garment on to this - green-
i.e. it has green patches.
i need to get it sorted before he gets back home from work or else my bank account will be couple of hundred in the red.
please help with tips asap
thank you

What colour should the shirt be?
DON'T wash it or put it near heat or cold yet as that might set the stain, wait until you get a reply.
When life hands you a lemon, make sure you ask for tequilla and salt

We've had this question before recently about dye running - but I'm blowed if I can find it yet...
..Galtizz's advice is good - don't do a hot wash nor tumble dry because that can set the stain.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

As Galtizz says don't let the shirt dry or the stain will become fixed.
Do you have any borax? I've used it successfully to remove colour run stains. Wet the item, add borax directly to stains and leave for about 10 minutes then wash again in the usual way.
Found this, but not sure if it will help.......Good luck!

Hope it all works out for you

I go with this. My son's tie has still not turned up, wonder what he did with it?
Also, a product called colour catcher works as well as colour run remover. This is a sheet you put in the wash and it catches loose colours. It rescued a t-shirt belonging to my daughter which had red trimming. I thought it was a goner but it is now back to how it should be.
Lastly, if your son doesn't want his shirts ruined, perhaps he should wash them himself. Although I still do my family's washing (hence the missing tie) I certainly will not do hand washing for them.0 -
If all else fails put it in the bin and reckon he must have left it in night club when he was last drunk.... my lot lose loads of stuff0
