Help!! Colours run in wash!!

Help desperately needed. Put in a load of whites before bed and they have turned bluey/ grey. Some white pj's with a very fine blue line through have run. Any ideas to get my whites back. I rewashed them minus the pj's hoping it wasn't 'set' and would wash out. Will i have to use runaway or similar or is there something OS that i can do. Suggestions desperately needed. Thanks in advance.

    I had quite a good result using the colour run sheet things. I rewashed all the whites and most of the colour run came out (although not quite all of it). Some bits I used Ace bleach on. :o

    Hi Rebecca,

    Dylon do a product that reverses colour runs - I can't remember the name or the price sorry but you should be able to find it in Woolies or Asda (probably other big supermarkets too

    Hope this helps

    Hi abbecer,

    I've seen a lot of people on Old Style recommend Dylon Colour Run Remover which seems to help.
