Colour Run Disaster

janb5

Rather than bleach I would try some Ace bleach which is much milder. Soak it with an old white object as well. You could always claim on your household insurance if it were that expensive ?

thank you,thank you,thank you to all who helped me with this problem.i used a second pack of colour run remover and it cleared it. i can still see a pinkish tinge on a sleeve but hopefully it should be ok.a whole lot better from when i first wrote,so again thanks!

Hi all, have just had a bit if a disaster, have just put all my whites in on a boil wash and some yellow dusters were mingled in with the towels, noticed after the machine had been on for ten minutes that everything has turned lemon yellow, daughters vests, school shirts, socks towels etc What can I do?

I know you can get colour run remover in supermarkets, hope this is of some help !

I know tesco stock this. Of course if the stuff was meant to be white you could always try bleaching it, but I've only done this with small items.

Dylon colour remover is as good as they reckon. Got myself in trouble the other day for turning all the kids shirts blue, (trying to help, honest!!). Saved from crisis by intervention of Dylon, it took an overnight soak to sort out.

Jusr rewash again as normal before they dry - will get the worst out at least , then use a colour run remover if needs be... will gradually fade out on its own -trust me.................

I've always wondered why on earth dusters are yellow anyway? It's impossible to wash them with anything else. I hope you managed to get the problem sorted.

My mother gave me a lovely lightblue top that is handwash only. So I washed it tonight. Problem is that I'd also handwashed my todd's little red t-shirt (that had a little elephant embroidered on). I washed them separately but they touched momentarily while I was getting stuff ready, and now there's red marks on my top. I've just left it in water for now but any advice how to get the red out? It's a very delicate fabric. Any advice gratefully received.
