Arghh! I have just washed my DS's red dressing gown with his white vests/singlets - don't ask me why! Now he is going to look like a girl in pale pink clothes! Any ideas how to remove the pink hue from them? Was going to try oxyclean or something.... ------------- http://lilypie.com">

My Google-fu is weak, but http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Coloring-Washed-in-to-Clothes - here's something that might help.
To be honest, I never thought of rescuing dyed things! Don't know why it never occurred to me.  A red bathmat went in the washing machine, and I put a load of nappies in afterward (they weren't even in the same load), and the prefolds all came out pink!
Good luck; I hope you can fix it. |

I think there is something at the supermarket that removes dye. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

Yes, you can get something from the supermarket or pharmacy. It comes in a sachet and I think it's a Dylon brand (who make dyes). You can get one for colours and one for whites. Works like a dream, but smells like rotten eggs! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">

If all else fails, buy one of those in-the-washing-machine dyes, and dye them navy blue or something. That should cover the pink.
Or... is this coming baby a girl?  -------------

DF loves his red shirts and isnt the best at sorting things out when he 'helps' and does the washing so i have had this happen a few times.
I find Run-Away the best but I cant seem to find it anymore! You can get Dylon from the chemist but you need to follow the instructions perfectly and do it ASAP |
