Black & white coat in washing machine - white turned grey

[LaundryAdvice]

Need help from experts in garment care!

I have a coat which was mistakenly put in a 40 degree wash, instead of being taken to the dry cleaners 🙄

It is a woven black and white checked pattern, and the white bits were previously a true bright white. They are now...not quite grey, but decidedly dingy looking and the whole coat is basically ruined for me... the white was so flattering and smart, and now it makes me look like death :-(

Is there anything at all I can do to remedy this? I attach a photo of the coat fabric, and of the label which explains the fabric composition (though it doesn't add up to 100%, weirdly - 56% polyester and 24% cotton).

Thank you in advance for any ideas!

Bump... anyone?

You could try a colour run remover and see if it helps

DD had a dark green hoodie with a white hood and I restored the white area with this...

Thanks both! Somehow I had never come across that product... I guess it's testament to all my years of good laundry up until this point!! I've ordered it - fingers crossed, it certainly can't make it worse! Much appreciated.

Has it shrunk at all ? Either the coat or the lining ?
If it has you might be throwing good money after bad ?

Hmm, don't think so - there are no "shrinkable" fibres in it as far as I know, and it was only 40 degree wash and no tumble dry. But I can't even remember if I've tried it on since "the incident" (you can imagine the level of chaos that led to machine washing a coat by accident 😂). The powder was only £3 so I can keep it for another time if the coat turns out to have shrunk.
