I've dyed!

I washed my summer bedspread today, I also washed a fairly new pink sheet.
I'm usually very careful about these things, which is why I don't know if there's a way to get the pink out of the white (flowered) bedspread

Please help!

Re: I've dyed!

Get Colour Run and soak it in the bath. Not used it for yonks, but seem to remember Colour Run sorted out my wash a couple of times

Found this site for you:

What is the bedspread made of Tessa if cotton you could try bleaching it.

Dylon the dye people do a colour remover . Look on their website for details.

Re: I've dyed!

Tess, I think Pesta's idea is probably best. Try the Colour Run Remover.
Let us know if it works or not.
Good luck.

Re: I've dyed!

It is cotton Meg but, will bleach spoil the pattern on it?
I don't have anything big enough to soak it in so it'll have to go in the washing machine with whatever I use.

Not having a good week!
I bumped into the lounge door with my tea tray and dropped it, beans on toast and Complan milkshake all over the carpet to clean up too!

Tessa if the pattern is in a different colour yes

I always keep a can of Vanish Carpet spray to hand, it is great for cleaning small areas.

Floyd found them quite easy to remove, I had to ask him to leave the bedroom later though!
