I put a load of whites in the washer at 60C. Everything was absolutely pure white, all except an old England T shirt with a printed St George's Cross from the 2009 Ashes series... England lost at Headingley by an innings and a bucketload of runs so it was relegated to when I did cleaning duties. It was worn and washed every day I attended, and many times since.

Today the damned thing decided to release its already faded red into all my other pristine white things.

Any ideas.... anyone?

There is some stuff WM - I think it is called colour grab or something like that. I'm sure you will be able to get rid of the pink.

think there is some stuff called colour catcher
good luck
WM most men wouldent even notice if there whites wernt white

I have used this one in the past

Dylon make a colour run remover so do Dr Beckman Frank, it will be in the laundry aisle near the Vanish and stuff. TBH if all the whites are pure cotton I would risk a cap full of bleach and a 40 degree wash asap...........

Thanks all. I have seen Dr Beckmann in the supermarkets.... should I leave the stuff damp till I can get some tomorrow or will it be OK to dry?

Saundra, I live in Leeds and 'pink' whites would be noticed. I ain't taking the chance.

I think I would keep them damp.

I'd leave it damp, but am not sure of the science of it

Damp it is then... and an early trip to ASDA for some of Dr Beckmann's magic powders.

I've used the Dr Beckmann's whcih Shell posted about with good results.
Now I put one or two Colour Catchers into mixed colour washes - we don't have many white clothes, apart from Tom and Joe's school shirts, to warrant doing a whites only wash. Those little sheets always seem to catch whatever dye is coming out of clothes.
