    Yes, the horrific has happened :-( A red t shirt has got in with my wash load, along side some white tops, though not all white (a couple are but the rest have other colours in them so I can't bleach them) and a couple of yellow tops have got stained as well. I've been using Dr Beckhams colour run stuff, and although improved, the stains are still there, the clothes are now doing a third cycle,

    Is there any other way I can try should this third attempt be no good ???

    Thanks for you help.

    Sorry. If it's not out by now, all I can suggest is using dylon and dye them a different colour.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Re-dying not so easy as some are striped and the yellow hoodie has a picture on the front of it :-( The pure white ones I can bleach. Doesn't help that one of the tops is a borrowed one !!!! Oh well !!!!

    I need some help ASAP,
    The other half left me to sort out the washing yesterday but to be honest i bunged it all in together, and when i was taking it out i noticed her good white blouse it a lovely shade of pink caused by the dye running out of our daughters PJ bottoms, so what can i do to get the color out of the blouse, the blouse is currently hiding in my football kit bag. ;););)

    Buy a colour run packet from the supermarket, follow instructions and should be as good as new
