I was soaking DDs tshirts in OxyClean and one of them colored all others. What should I do? I have color-safe bleach (Purex, chlorine-free) but I don't want to try something that would make coloring permenant. T-shirts are white (with prints), yellow and pink. Please help.

Have you tried rewashing (leaving the one that runs out of the load)?

Use a warm load and don't put it in the dryer until you see how the stains did.
Good Luck,

You could try the Shout Color Catchers (available at the grocery store or Target). I remember these worked for me.

Rit makes a color remover that I have used. It changes the color totally at first, don't freak out, it goes back to normal color with heat.Good luck!

Be careful with the color removers - we had some items that never returned to their normal colors even later on in the dryer, some that had most of even the original color removed, that sort of thing. It did work on some of our items though - and it was a whole load that we had turn pink, so at least some of it came out okay. ;)
