Soaking coloured clothes

Hi guys,

I searched but nothing came up for coloured clothes - just for whites.

I have pink top - vivid beautiful pink that got a bit bleuh under the armpits (you know like you get yellow stains on whites) and I would like to soak it before hand as this is not easy to wash... on short colour wash too.

So I have:
Stardrops
Bio and non bio laundry liquid
Soda

What would you use?

    It more depends on what fabric the top is made of tbh, and whether it's hand wash or machine wash or dry clean.

    Sorry, it is normal top tshirt, if it was hand wash or dry clean I would not be putting into washing machine.
    I am only worried about colour run (I want to save the colour while getting rid of that stain) if I soak it in something too strong... IYKWIM.
