Blue Dye Transferred in the Wash?

My navy blue shirt ran in the wash, but only on orange colored shirts. How can I remove the blue? They are my hubby's favorite shirts.

I hope you haven't dried the clothes that were stained because you need to wash them again. You can use Tide Oxi, OXO Brite, OxiClean, or Nellie's All Natural Oxygen Brightener. Just follow the directions on the box or label for how much to add to your wash.

If you use cold water on your machine, you'll need to dissolve the oxygen bleach in warm water before adding it to the washing machine.

Please do not dry until you are sure all unwanted color has been removed.
Many times just a couple of washings will remove most of the offending color but if not there are several things to try and most of the time they are successful.

A safe all color bleach (never chlorine bleach) in your laundry will do the trick but if not there are several safe color grabber products that can be bought at most box stores (Walmart, Target, etc.) or even on line if necessary.
Here is an example of one product and a link that has some very good suggestions to get your husband's shirt back to the right color.
