Dye Catcher?

Do you think a dye catcher would work on clothes that are currently in the washer and all dyed PINK? DD's leotard (that was previously dyed pinkish/reddish) ended up in that load of laundry and well you know the rest....

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need to get these clothes taken care of tonight cause some of them need to be worn tomorrow.

It might. It has worked for me in the past. Do not put them in the dryer. Wash again with a dye catcher (leave out the leotard this time :) If that doesn't work, don't dry them; instead, try soaking them in BIZ for a few hours to a few days and then wash again.

In the future -- try a cup of Epsom salts in your wash water to help prevent dye migration.

It works!

BIZ is not intended for color removal. It hasn't removed color from anything I've washed w/ BIZ. It has, however, removed many stains, including the water stains left by the poinsettias which were set on the tree skirt in the church sanctuary. That tree skirt was hand-made w/ counted cross stitch on Aida cloth, gold on white, simply beautiful, and someone set wet potted plants on it! Several of the women claimed "It's ruined!" So I brought it home. After one trip thru' the BIZ the skirt looks perfect again. The skirt goes back into storage in it's protective wrappings to be admired again in December.

The Rit dye remover, like the Carbona Color Run Remover, should be tested first. It will remove excess color (unset dye), maybe more than one would wish.

When all else fails just tell everyone how good they look in pink, that it compliments their eyes and skin tones. 8->

Awwww, Sandy. I'm so glad you were able to rescue that beautiful tree skirt. For sure, counted cross stitch on Aida with gold threads was a labor of love and needed your own special tender loving care. Good, good for you. Polly

I think Biz will pull out at least some of the errant dye. They do recommend that you test it for colorfastness so it can take out some color. I haven't had it take away any color it shouldn't though. Info at their site:

I've had that happen occasionally. Usually I re-wash everything (except of course the offender) with some Oxi-Clean and a dye catcher. So far so good.

I have never had any luck with removing the pink from various undershirts of my husband that have inadvertently gotten washed with colored clothes. I have about 6 undershirts in my rag bin to prove it!

I hope you have better luck then I did.
