I've just started taking the clothes out of the machine and pink dye has run through everything that isn't black (including my favourite top Sad).

Can I fix it? How do I fix it? Some of the items I need for tomorrow.

Dylon colour run remover worked a treat for me getting turquoise dye out of whites.

Just add to machine and rewash.

Do I have to do it before the clothes dry? I'm not going to be able to get to a shop to buy anything today and I'm gong away first thing tomorrow until Sunday evening Sad

My neighbour has come to the rescue with some colour run remover stuff. Washing machine has about 20 minutes left so fingers crossed that it works its magic Smile

How did it turn out?

I've only looked at a couple of the things, so far. My favourite top has been saved (yay!!) but a sock and DS' boxers still have some faint pink marks on. I can live with that!!
