Help!
I've just gone to the washing machine and there were a couple of dusters in with the white washing and it's all gone lemon yellow! Most of the stuff it doesn't really matter but there are a few of dh's work shirts that are pretty new plus ds's best and only designer T-shirt....

What do I do to get rid of the yellow - bleach in a bucket? If so how as in should I dilute the bleach and how much?

I am just re-running the machine (minus dusters) on an intensive stains wash to see if that helps but I guess it won't

I did similar the other day

Bleach bottle had diluting instruction son it, so check the label. It did work.

Oh phew - thank goodness there's a solution. I knew MNetters would know!

Where do you get the colour run stuff from - supermarket or specialist store? WHat was it called?

I think Dylon do one - can't remember what it's called but it will be with the stain remover stuff in the supermarket and should be fairly obvious. It works best if the clothes haven't been dried, but should still be okay if they have. Hope it works!

Brilliant - they haven't been dried.

Just hoping they sell it in my not so huge local Waitrose.

Ds's gorgeous Timberland top just doesn't look so nice in lemon yellow....!

I am pretty sure I got this stuff from waitrose - haven't used it yet - but I think it works.
