Help - I've gone Fifty Shades of Grey !!!

Some of my husband's black socks accidentally got thrown into a hot wash for white laundry in the washing machine. All my underwear (& his) has now gone Fifty Shades of Grey !! :rotfl:

How do I rescue it & return it to pristine whiteness? Would soaking in bleach help, or will this damage the elastic in bras & pants!

    Dr Beckmans rescue remedy. You find it in the soap powder aisle of your supermarket.
    I wanna be in the room where it happens

    Colour Run works for me. You just dissolve a sachet in some water, soak the stained stuff, then chuck it through a normal wash again.
