help colour run on favourite top

OH just got back from the gym and his new pinky/red (not yet washed) hoodie has run under the arms into his white basketball top.

So he has red/pink stains in his white top, ideas on getting it out?

colour catchers (think from Dylon but supermarkets have their own) - stick it in the machine with one of them & hopefully, will come out.
I'd soak the top in cool soapy water until you get them, if you don't already have them.

Thanks not got a colour catcher. Will keeping it in cool water stop it setting?

popped into waitrose this afternoon and found Dylon SOS colour run, going to give it a go tonight.

oh sorry - didn't check back on thread - hope you/he managed to get the stain out ok.
You get several in a pack & I usually cut mine at least into half (size differs according to which ones you get) still does the job & lasts longer.
Useful to use in a mixed washload, especially if you're not sure whether something will run or not.

It worked! Thanks for the advice. I'd googled it and there were all sorts of home remedies suggested but dylon worked first time.
