Colour running

Gavin "shels"

So my mam threw my work t-shirt and my hoodie into the wash last night, the t-shirt (which is red) ran, so I've ended up with a navy and pink hoodie. Is there anyway to get rid of the pink off my hoodie?

Colour-run remover, you'll find it in the washing powder section of any big supermarket i think...

Cool, but will that undo the colour that's already ran?

My mam bought it today and she's giving it a try tomorrow.

hi, its a total bummer, happen to me several times. prognosis not great im afraid dependin on how light a colour your hoodie is. my advice is steep the hoodie in the colour run instead of puttin it in the washing machine, an repeat a second time.

+1 for the colour run remover, I've used it in the past (orange t shirt made its way into an all white wash) and it was very successful.

Still haven't got it out.:(

The hoodie is navy but there is a white line down the arms and some blue and white striped on the collar.

Only try it in the washing machine. Will I try steeping it?

Doesn't matter now the hoodie itself is gone all "dull" from washing, etc... Just bought a new white w/ red and navy replacement for €38.:cool:

Congrats on your new hoodies at least. In future use a colour catcher (they are very good I use them lots myself) but if you forget and you colour runs again put the garment you want to return to normal into a bath full of cold water as soon as you take it out of the machine and don't let it dry out. Then do your colour run remover as per the instructions on the packet, apparently if the colour drys it sets and is harded to remove.

Ye my mate usually does throw in a colour catched but the one time she doesn't it happens to be my favourite hoodie.

Had two hoodies (purple and red) that went in with my sisters new black jeans, I just dyed them black, came out tinted, looks really nice

So now my new hoodie is fecked.:eek: Bought a white hoodie there the other day and last night while out and about somehow ended up with some pink marker on the back. Washed it 3 times today with Vanish sprayed on it and colour catchers. But there is still a tiny bit on it, how can I rid my hoodie of it?
