Help.
Got the washing out of the machine..only to find a bright yellow duster had been washed alongside my whites.
Everything else was fine apart from one of my best pillow cases and some underwear.
The yellow stain will not come out at all.
Have re-washed the whites twice..soaked in bleach..then re-washed in bleach (through the machine)...still got yellow stains on them!!
Anyone got any bright ideas??

Made by Dylon. Usually in most supermarkets. You could try a solution of Milton (usually tablets available in Superdrug) - that seems to get out tomato stains from plasticware when all else has failed, so perhaps would work here too?0 -
You can buy sachets of stuff to restore whites, I think it's called Glo White.0

I use yellow dusters to dye my daughter's jodhpurs and shirts for showing. The colour usually lasts quite a few washes and tends to leave things creamy.
The colour run stuff is brilliant if your garments don't have any colour on them as that will be 'bleached' too. I've used it when I put a red sock in with the whites :rolleyes:Just run, run and keep on running!0
