Hello!

I’ve got another washing related question. My teenage daughter dyed some sports socks bright pink (to stop her brothers stealing hers) and you guessed it…..the newly dyed socks went through a load of the boys’ t-shirts. How can you remove dye from shirts without damaging the picture? Unfortunately the shirts were dry before the teenagers told mum!

  • He he love it! Kids r funny. Had to have a laugh at this one


  • Oh dear! That is hilarious!


  • I hope you were able to solve the problem


  • I’ve used hairspray to get pen ink out of clothes and it worked, haven’t tried it on dye though


  • Dylon make a good colour remover product.


  • Wow, run away sounds great, can’t say I’ve ever seen it. I’m curious to know whether you ended up fixing the shirts


  • in the supermarket there are a few products which catch colour or claim to remove it. have a go with those.


  • If you live in a small town (like me) you may have to go to ebay pffffffffffft


  • Def checking out run away!


  • Hairspray ? weird ill have to try it


  • run away is meant to be good. But hairspray? Unreal, I’ll have remember that one


  • Never heard of Run Away – definitely going to look out for that next time I’m shopping.


  • I use hairspray to get ink /paint/texta out so you could try that.


  • It would of been a chore indeed. I probably would of tried to tie dye it myself


  • I hope your found a way to fix your shirt without ruining the picture
