Colour run remover – any recommendations?

Unfortunately, I have managed to ruin a beautiful sunny yellow hand towel by accidentally leaving it in the washing machine when then washing a non colour fast (navy) wash.

Can anyone recommend a colour run remover? I looked on Amazon but the featured hits had low ratings.

I don't want to dye the towel in question as it is part of a set and would love to restore it to its original sunny yellow.

Um you could try washing it on its own with a Dyson Colour Catcher sheet. Only a few quid in supermarkets.

Thanks . It was those ones I had looked at on Amazon. The colour catcher ones to prevent colours leaking halve excellent reviews. The after the event Dylan SOS ones to reverse colour runs are basically described as a waste of money ☹️

I did have a bit of success with a colour run remover and a yellow top. I think I added a colour catcher and ran it through twice then put it out in the sunshine. It was never quite as vibrant but was definitely less blue!

Thank you - I'll give it a go
