    Hi there, another long shot..

    Someone in my house put my new check topshop shirt into the wash with black jeans (grrrrr!) and the white bits in the shirt have gone all blue and the red/blue very dull..it's not wearable as it's obviously been dyed..

    Ive just put in on a 30 minute 90 degree wash in the machine with no joy, does anyone know of any sneaky tricks to get that dull, blue tint out?

    Will i just have to face the fact the shirt's a gonner? I'm actually quite gutted on this as I loved it and was a real find for me!

    Flip!

    There is colour run remover you can get in the supermarket. I dunno if it will work on something that has more than one colour in it though. It's worth a shot.

    Yeh i think its called colour catcher its like a sheet you put into the machine and it absorbs the colour hope it works!

    Im not sure after its been washed, but if you get hairdye on clothing a good spray of hairspray on it, and wash as normal and it comes off :)

    No that's different it catches the dye before it dyes your favourite shirt.

    This is a thing you get next to the starches and Stain Devils and Net Curtain Whiteners.

    It's just Called "Colour Run Remover" and it's in a wee box with sachets inside.

    Colour Run Remover has saved my life on occasions, it really works. I let it soak for ages. Good luck!

    Well girlies I shall be investing in a pack of this as i have another shirt that suffered the same fate not some long ago (twas a black pair of Penneys jeans that caused the damage!) so I shall dutifully report back!

    I want my fabulous shirt back! For those of you who think I'm nuts, this is it but I love
    it!
