I have discovered Carbona Stain Devils this week. I was really impressed. They say their products work because they're targeted at specific kinds of stains, unlike your general all-purpose. I was at the supermarket at 7 a.m. today to get their colour bleed remover, which I want to try on a blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1335569 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 02:32:43 +0000 pastrygirl 1335569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not helpful now, but for the future -- I use a Shout Color Catcher when washing anything that might transfer. There's a pouch kind that I don't like at all. I use the ones that look like dryer sheets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1335495 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 01:23:35 +0000 Suz 1335495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great suggestion about the Rit. I'm going to look into it -- thank you!! And thanks, Vicki, also! I'll report back.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1335439 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 00:10:53 +0000 geargirl 1335439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will second the vote for RIT color remover. I've used it on several items and had good results. I had a black and white striped shirt that got washed with a hot pink sock. It whitened the whites and left the black. I've also used it with a graphic tee that turned bluish. I think it's worth a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1335397 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 23:16:55 +0000 Karie 1335397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is it:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.amazon.com/Rit-Dye-Powdered-Remover-2-Ounce/dp/B00BMLIEOA">http://www.amazon.com/Rit-Dye-.....B00BMLIEOA</a></p> <p>My fear is that it would remove the original dye in the garment, I don't know what the cautions are on the product.</p> <p>DH is finally ready, so out to dinner I go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1335391 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 23:12:34 +0000 Karie 1335391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, I just went back and read your other thread - how sad :(<br />Doesn't Rit make a dye lifter? I don't think stain lifters will work, I'll look into dye lifters later tonight if I get a chance (we are away on another vacay and about to go out to dinner).&nbsp;<br />At least it appears to have dyed evenly and not spotty. Looks pretty, but not as pretty as before. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1335381 Tue, 19 Aug 2014 23:05:39 +0000 Vicki 1335381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried The Laundress products?</p> <p>It's from The Laundress and the actual product is called Stain Solution<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.thelaundress.com/stain-solution">http://www.thelaundress.com/stain-solution</a></p> <p>What they say: &nbsp;<i></i><i>We know how frustrating tough stains can be—from red wine and coffee to pit stains and more.

It is sold out now,&nbsp; but with<br /> that store items very often come back in stock randomly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333443 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 17:57:45 +0000 Jules 1333443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a nice top but summer is almost done. You might be on to the next thing next year - with our short summers I find that's often the case for myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333349 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:37:18 +0000 Suz 1333349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, Una - thank you! So there is no link because it is from last year. Which just made me think -- how about ebay? Hmmm....off to check!&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA: found one in medium but I need XS.. Or S at the biggest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333348 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:37:14 +0000 Thistle 1333348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am soooo sorry.</p> <p>Is it possible to find another on eBay? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333345 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:31:09 +0000 Kari 1333345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Argh, so sorry.<br /> At least it's wearable in lavender. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333342 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:28:31 +0000 catgirl 1333342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you post a link to the shirt again?&nbsp; I'll keep my eye out... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333340 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:27:55 +0000 Suz 1333340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, thanks, all. Luckily I can still wear it as is, and now I will be on the hunt for something similar next year. I really loved that Chinoiserie print. If I see anything else with that kind of print I will snap it up for sure. Somehow it worked super well for me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333338 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:26:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1333338@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh poop </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333333 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 15:24:50 +0000 jackiec 1333333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh no, so sad.

Have you tried a Color Catcher? (Sorry if I'm repeating previous advice.) sometimes that'll help with transferred dye if it hasn't been set by heat yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333092 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 03:19:38 +0000 LACeleste 1333092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry Suz. &nbsp;I was hoping oxi-clean would work. &nbsp;Disappointing but I'm sure you'll discover a new favorite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/laundry-mishap-update#post-1333078 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 03:07:02 +0000 Suz 1333078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So...we tried the soak of my print linen tee in oxi-clean. No difference whatsoever.&nbsp;</p> <p>I suspect I'm going to have to get used to wearing a lavender tee. &nbsp;Sob. &nbsp;:(</p> <p>It could be worse. But I mourn its passing. I really loved that tee.&nbsp; </p>
