    To the question in the thread title - the blue sock was probably lurking in the machine from a previous wash.

    Lol, sorry for laughing...........this reminds me of a red sock incident we had not so long ago. Was walking by the washing machine and it was stuck to the glass, in a white wash and I swear it was waving at me and shouting 'Hey check me out..........look where I am!'

    Maybe not very OS but I used Vanish Oxy Action, left clothes to steep overnight, re-washed and came up as good as new

    Linz xoxox
    Its hard to wait around for that something you know may never happen,but its harder to give up when you know its everything you ever wanted.........


    People tell me Im going the wrong way..............when its simply a way of my own!

    ',

    You can get something called colour restore or something like that from Tesco but I'm not sure how it works.

    Quite a long time ago I washed something that ran onto my other clothes and I managed to get something to bring it all back to normal.

    Not a great deal of help I know but I am sure someone who has used something recently will be along soon.

    :)

    You can try the colour run type products, but be sure to read the instructions because some of them aren't suitable for coloureds. In the meantime the most important thing is not to subject them to any type of heat as this will "set" the dye. Good luck.
