HELP! Laundry load ruined

6 replies

Pigtailsandall · 18/08/2024 15:24

Hi all. I managed to accidentally load a new black top (first time wash) into a load of whites - mainly towels and pillowcases but in it were also a top of mine that I love, and DH's linen shirt. They all look quite greyish now. I'm less bothered about the towels but I'd love to save the tops. Any recommendations of a dye remover, or a really good bleach I could use? Any tips appreciated! Thanks!

I would try vanish oxi bleach type stuff for whites on a 60 degree wash.
Soak for a couple of hours first if you can.
You may need to do it twice before they look really white again.
Then hang out in the sun to dry

Vanish oxy with the gold lid, dr beckman colour catchers and hang in the sun. Hope you get it sorted

Dylon Colour Run Remover always works for me.

Thank you all! I forgot to reply as we had guests, but I have ordered the Vanish Oxy as well as Dylon colour run. I hope one/both work (not at the same time, obs)

I used SOS Colour Run on a lovely blue tinged white wash [that I had tumbled dried too] and it came up very well.

Ace gentle bleach blue bottle will rescue them.
