I have turned lotsa stuff pink. The last load was last week when there was NOTHING RED in the laundry except something that was previously turned pink that was laundered twice before and in the dryer-- is this possible? Can I fix this?? I added bleach but no avail. If you find out, let me know!   Alert | IP Printer-friendly page | Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Pink clothes that used to be white" In response to message #0      Hi Carrie, I have had this very same thing happen to me and the fix is easy if you can find the right product. The product is called "In-Wash Color Run Remover" by Carbona. There is another product I used before this one and both work but I don't know the name of it. Just look for anything that will remove accidental coloring. Look in some of the bigger stores that sell dye for clothing. I keep this stuff on hand in the case of accidents like the one you described. Hope you can find it, it really works.
