Bleach or colur-run remover?

I have put DD's favourite white dress in with a blue item by mistake. It's still white, but with a blue tinge. Can I just lightly bleach it or would I get better results by using one of those colour removal things I've seen in the supermarket? (I know bleach will probably work, but it would be really helpful if anyone has tried both and knows which is best.)

TIA

I have tried the colour run sachets and they haven't worked for me I must admit. I tried the oxy white stuff ( not sure what it was called) which helped a bit. I think that none of the stuff is as good as it claims... hmm so if it's not too delicate fabric then a light bleach might be an option.

Thanks Emma. I just found a thread which said the same as you, and I've bleached it and rewashed - it's looking good at the moment - just hope it doesn't fall apart!
