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.

You can try Carbona color run remover. I've had mixed results with it, but if the shirts are ruined anyway, it's worth the $3 to try and save them. :D

I've had two reasoanble successes with that same product Carbona Color Run remover. It's sold in a small box at eye level in the laundry detergent aisle. One time, it removed green that had run on to some yellow towels, but also lightened the towels. The second time, it removed red that had run on cotton cloth diapers. It did not do a very good job removing the red from the non-cotton parts of cloth diapers (i.e. Velcro, microfiber inserts).
