Help colour run disaster

A dark item has run blue into a lime green and light grey Nike tracksuit.
I've tried a colour run remover which didn't shift it
I've tried a stain remover and that didn't work either.
What else can I try before DS notices

I never had any luck with the colour run remover sheets either, I just kept washing and washing until the item was no longer pink - was a red, white and black hoodie that ds15 loved 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hand sanitiser ? Ace laundry bleach for stains is really good . Dye the whole thing and deny it was ever any other colour!

Non-dilute washing up liquid is great at removing stains. Pour it on straight from the bottle, rub it in and then pop straight in the wash. Not sure it'll remove clothing dye but might be worth a try.

If you washed it according to the washing instructions ld complain to the retailer of the blue t shirt. With photographs.

If it’s going to go it will do so with a couple of washes. But if it’s nylon or polyester it’s doubtful.

I think it went in with a new school hoodie. Yikes.
There are random patches all over it. Im screwed.

I've already prepared my you should be doing your own washing speech

Soak in diluted vanish and re wash at 60

Is the blue hoodie at fault.
