Top Tips

Dylon also makes a very good colour run remover, and there is a product called Colour Catcher that can be placed in the washing machine to absorb colours in the wash. Many products claim to remove colour runs, but it’s worth remembering that there may be adverse effects. Colour run removers might alter the look of the garment or spoil it. However, if the dye has already run, you may feel you have nothing to lose. Alternative Solutions

All of these products work best if the garment is treated immediately and is not allowed to dry. If you can’t do this immediately, keep the garment wet until you have time to do something with it, but don’t wash it again.Directions of Use 1. Fill your washing machine with your laundry and add detergent as recommended. 2. Place 1-2 sheets in your washing machine, depending on the colour intensity of your garments. Start the washing cycle. 3. Simply remove the sheet at the end of the wash and throw away in the normal waste. Helpful Wash Hints Always follow fabric care & washing machine manufacturers instructions. New coloured items should always be washed separately the first time. Use two sheets for heavily dyed garments. Product performance cannot be guaranteed where there are excessive amounts of colour bleed. Some other products can be used to remove dye, such as Vanish or Oxiclean. These aren’t as cheap as bleach, but might be worth trying if all else fails. Ecover make a type of laundry bleach that is kinder to the environment than regular household bleach. It’s also less likely to corrode the fabric and can be used with coloured clothes.
