Help! I've dyed my bath mat pink!

Hope this is in the right place!

The kitten decided to wee on the bath mat so I chucked it in the washing machine ready to be cleaned. Hours later I discovered she'd wee'd on the sofa too so I removed the RED covers, chucked them in the washing machine ant turned it on, forgetting the bath mat was in there. The bath mat is now a rather revolting shade of dusky pink!

What's the best way to remove the colour/make it cream again?

Thanks in advance!

    You can buy colour run sachets from most supermarkets, giving one of those a go might restore original colour to your bathmat.
    You have one clever kitten there, she/he obviously knows what the bathroom is for.:rotfl:

    Thanks, I'm popping to tesco later so will try and find one.

    So far this week she's wee'd on the bath mat, the sofa, the dogs bed and I caught her weeing in the little rinsing section of the kitchen sink! She's also poo'd on the old sofa and on our bed! We're trying to phase out the litter tray and she hasn't handled it as well as the other cats.

    Haven't found anything in the past few days but she now only has access to the kitchen to minimise the spread of any toilet goings!

    TBH for what you'll pay for the colour-run stuff you might as well put your money towards a NEW bathmat. Tesco have them for a fiver and I've had one and it's great and BIG chenille ones for £7 and I got one of those too.
