DH somhow managed to put a red TK maxx receipt in the wash with among other things my irreplacable linen tablecloth.

I have tried using a colour run remover which has had no affect whatsoever.

has anyone got any ideas how to get the colour off?

Thanks

have you tried one of the vanish products?
you could also try fairy liquid neat on the stain, rub the material together to get it to foam iyswim? then wash it and hang it in direct sunlight

or bleach as a last resort?

If all else fails and it really is irreplaceable can you dye it (and any napkins) red?

I am saving bleach as a last resort.

It's got a print on it, which wouldn't look right if the background was red.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

anybody got any more?

you could also try taking it to a dry cleaner, they have all sorts of magic stuff!
