Help - dyed my daughter's dressing gown!

I've had a washing machine disaster and my daughter's pale green cotton towelling dressing gown has red splodges over it. I've tried using colour run, both in the machine and as a soak but to no avail. What can I try next? If nothing works do I just buy a new one or is it worth trying to dye it? I've never dyed anything so slightly nervous about this one...
Thank you.
Thank you.

You could try re-running it through with Vanish, but that's the only suggestion I have, I'm afraid.
You could try soaking it in hot water with bio washing powder...
Failing that, say it's all the rage and every cool girl has one like this.....

I found this which might help, of course will be at your own risk if you try itColor Transfer on Clothing
To remove colors that have bled onto clothes, run at least two inches cold water into bathtub, mix 1 part bleach to 2 parts white vinegar and add to cold water, mixing together well. Add clothing 1 piece at a time. If solution is mixed right, you should see the colors (that bled) disappear instantly; otherwise, add more cold water. Hint: you should not be able to smell the bleach over the vinegar and always be in a well-ventilated area. To prevent color transfer add anywhere from 1 to 2 cups white vinegar to wash cycle.
all else fails maybe dye the dressing gown ? you can get ones you just pop in the washing machine.One day I might be more organised...........
