aaargh my sheets - anyone know how to get colour wash out?

[wordforword]

We had a guest who tried to help by putting a wash on with my lovely, expensive, high thread count white superking bedding and also had the absence of mind to pop in a bright turquoise tea towel for its first wash - now everything is bluey-green.

They then put the whole lot in the tumble drier so by the time I got home everything was nice and hot.

I've bought everything I can (Ace bleach, colour run protect, whitener) but nothing has worked.

Is there something I've missed that might work?

Oh god. My "D"H did this yesterday and now all the whites are a hideous green-yellow hue and beyond rescue. I tried everything. My neighbour congratulated me on keeping my cool and not stabbing him with the BBQ fork.

Colour run remover has always worked for me.

Watching as DH's bloody GAP indigo jeans have just done this with my white linen blouse and towels.

I've put a good glug of bleach in with the wash to rescue whites before.

I'd soak them in white vinegar, dry in the sun, repeat. Add some oxy whites stuff every time you wash them.

Or buy a nice bed throw to cover them.

Eek the dye has been dried. Colour run as previously mentioned usually works really well. But not sure if it works on tumble dried linen. I would always say not to dry the colour run items. The only other thing would be washing with Napisan, and colour run sheets.

NO BLEACH !!!!! Bleach rots natural fabric fibres.

@AmandaHoldensLips well done, I shall try to emulate your restraint although itching to have at him with a blunt instrument

I've already soaked the duvet cover in the bath with a whole bottle of ace ultra and it's now in the machine on climate-killing 60 degree wash. I feel I've got nothing to lose.

I hope it works

This will work

Thanks @Highlyflavouredgravy , that looks really good but Amazon can't deliver for ages. I will see if I can find it in the shops

I usually buy it in the supermarket. It is miraculous stuff

@wordforword - the little hardware stores that can still be found in some places, usually keep colour run remover. Your bedding may be a lost cause, having been 'baked', but it's worth having a box in the cupboard for the next emergency!
Why oh why do people put coloured clothes in with whites? 🤬

Thanks @Walkacrossthesand , we have one of those traditional stock-everything hardware stores here so I'll get a box for the cupboard.

I've made my peace with the loss and moved on to the shopping phase.

I agree it was a crazy thing to do by someone who wears expensive clothing themselves and definitely does their own washing. They even stuck the white rubber-backed bathmat into the washer and then dryer - it was carnage!

Can you dye them a darker colour?

Okay as a one off, worth a gamble

I've always bought the colour run remover in Sainsburys/Waitrose.

So "Friend" put your beautiful, expensive bed linen in the wash along with a turquoise tea towel, emptied the washing machine at the end of the cycle where it was obvious what had happened and yet still decided to tumble dry said item?

I take it she hasn't offered to pay for the damage despite her being quite well off?

Hmm, are you sure she didn't do this deliberately? She would be no friend of mine with this behaviour. 🤬
