I forgot and put DS's red nappy in with the others

Most of his nappies are now pink, and I know that the man-made ones won't dye out!

The colour run remover stuff... do the clothes need to be wet still, or can they dry for a bit (not got any so have to go to shops iyswim). Which is the best one to get???

I am sooo some of those were demo nappies and I can't afford new ones.

Could cry.

Oh dear. Why don't you leave them soaking in water while you go to the shops? I use colour stops sheets in the wash sometimes, but I don't think those help after the event. Don't bother with Vanish, it's useless. It might be worth having a look to see if there is anything designed to remove colour run in the Stain Devils range.

there is something called colour run remover- quite easy to get hold of iirc!

don't panic- everyone does it!

WHY do you have a red nappy which runs? Or shouldn't i ask!?

What material and natural colour are the "pink" nappies? If cotton and white soak in bleach slightly watered down. Keep an eye on them and don't leave them too long in the bleach say 10 min. Then thoroughly wash through again on a hot wash. Best of Luck

Most of them were originally bright colours, so can't bleach (a couple I can though). Microfibre is the main one that is evil.

I've not taken them out yet so don't know the full damage.

The red one - didn't know it would run forever when I bought it!! I normally chuck it in with a normal clothes wash
