I put a load of Kylahs washing on, in it was Kylahs expensive pumpkin patch jacket  and a foreign blue flannel 
This is what the jacket came out like, next to the matching pants. 
Question is, can i buy something that will fix that, or do i put the pants in with the flannel and make them match  ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

Amber, i know theres something you can buy that can fix the whites you accidently dye. Just dont know if it will work for this.
DF put my brand new white top in the wash with brand new jeans, it came out bluey. Mum came round with a sachet of this stuff and presto it was white again. I wont mention he washed it with my jeans next time too. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

I think they work well as the are now that I have seen it!
I did a similar thing when Tom was small (heheh...sounds silly saying that but YKWIM) and I washed a bright green towel with his clothes and everything looked radioactive yellow! |

| If the item was coloured to start with, make sure you get the runaway designed for coloured clothing! Otherwise it'll strip ALL the colour out... |

| Colour Run/Runaway by Dylon. You get it from the chemist for about $10 or I have seen it in some New Worlds. There's two, one for whites, one for colours. I found it improved a colour run, but didn't completely fix it. |

I just did the same with Ella's cutest white T and her best hoodie. I soaked them both (separately - learnt that one the hard way too) in plain old baby napisan overnight and the T-shirt needed one more soak, and came out as good as new. It had been dyed dark grey-blue, but it's white again. The hoodie on the other hand, well, all's I can say is that now I believe PP when they say "do not bleach" on the tag ------------- Andie |

Countdown sell the whites one for $5. If you accidently make a white top pink/blue/green. If you do what i did and dye a coloured top another colour, you have to buy the coloured runaway, thats $7 from countdown. If the dont have any, they are $2 dearer at the chemist. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |
