HELP!! Colour run panic

8 replies

Omg!!! I've just washed a pile of DD's BRAND NEW clothes (all colours) with 2 colour catchers and the dye run from her new (dark blue) jeggings has somehow still managed to stain most of her other new clothes. I'm devastated and feel a bit stupid tbh....what the hell do I do??? Can I still fix them 😭 someone help me please

Try a colour run remover

Thanks! Where can I find it? I sent OH to Tesco's to get some but apparently they don't have any 😭

it's normally with the vanish type stuff. Its in a box - dr beckmann or dylon I think

Thank you. Do you think if I get it tomorrow it will still work? I'm trying to rewash the stained clothes to see if it helps but if not I will get the colour dye remover tomorrow. Should I leave them to soak until them? I've read somewhere that I shouldn't leave them to dry as the colour might set

Yes I would maybe leave them soaking until you can get a remover

Soak in cold water though - warm water more likely to set the dye!

Yes I have, thank you! The only thing that makes me worry is that after the cycle, I put them on active steam. And then I realised that the colour has run 😩 I hope that hasn't set the dye!!
