    Default Non-white items turned pink in laundry

    I wore a burgundy dress that I haven't worn for years, and forgot that it dyes other laundry pink. I washed it with other delicates on delicate cycle/cold water, with a shout color catcher. 2 nude colored bras, a blush pink sweater, and an ombre shirt all got dark pink splotches on them. I can't bleach these items since they're colored. They are all still wet, I haven't put them in the dryer- what can I do to get the pink out of them? Google tells me to bleach but these aren't whites. Help??

    There are a few other manufacturers also but you should be able to find them at your local grocery store.

    Thank you! This doesn't pull the original color from the items?

    You could try this: https://www.amazon.com/Grandmas-Secr.../dp/B01KG76NRU I’m not sure it will help but it can’t hurt. I can get tons of random stains out with this stuff and it doesn’t leave a moisture ring.

    There have been times where yes it did pull other color, but that has been rare. The only times I can remember is when the item was a newer item and had not been washed/dried a bunch of times. Also the color that it did pull out were more accent colors like on a collar. I think you would be fine with the bras and sweater not sure about the ombre shirt though.

    You might just try rewashing in cold with lots of color catchers. I think that worked for me a long time ago. It wasn’t perfect but it’s a pretty easy thing to try since they’re still wet
