Removing pink from white laundry

I went and did it, despite knowing better. Put white pjs and undies in a mixed wash and now they're a putrid shade.
I actually loved my pjs, and it's been years since I've had a wash accident.

Any tried and trusted methods of getting white stained laundry back to white?

I have used diluted bleach, to get whites back, but, they must be all white...once achieved, I wash again in machine.

Isn't there something you can buy for that?

Yes I think this is the route to go. It's just been ages since I've had to do this. I used to use Glo white for nets

Just looking for a fast emergency solution. It's really hard to get out the pink once set. I used to use soda crystals, but got out the habit.

I think it is called Dylon colour run but I'm not sure if you have to use it straight away or not.

Mrs mart uses something called 'Colour Catcher' made by Dylon. Maybe that's the right name.

Re: Removing pink from white laundry

I've not actually had to do this and would probably have resorted to something like Vanish.
White vinegar and bleach seemed to be used quite a lot. However, a search revealed this
YouTube video so this might be of use to you:

Unfortunately mine was dried. I will try using bleach I think in the washing machine drawer as suggested. Thanks.
