Just that really. Washed a blue t shirt in with the whites. Now everything is pale blue. Mix of fabrics.

Any bright ideas?

Many thanks

bleach wash , just squirt a bit of bleach in with the soap.
not too much though or your shirts will fall apart.

I'd fill a bowl with cold water and some bleach and soak the clothes for a while (keep an eye to see when the colour lifts) and then rinse really well and then wash as normal again in the washing machine.

Get some Colour run remover. Most supermarkets and Wilkos etc sell it.

I second colour run remover - brilliant stuff!

Does it work if it's not a fresh colour run? I accidently dyed my work uniform last week when I boil washed them with a new pair of black trousers. Didn't realise the extent of the colour run until I was back at work on Thursday. Oops!

Thank you all so much. I'll try the color remover and then some bleach
