Color Transferred onto a T-shirt in the Wash?

My mother messed up my favorite t-shirt in the washer. A pink blanket transferred some of its color to my beige shirt and she has already put it in the dryer. I want to know if there's a way to fix it or not.

You can try the Rit Color Grabber.

It is much more difficult once a garment has been in the dryer because the heat tends to "set" the color.

If it is a white shirt and if you want to try a home remedy first, fill a bucket with cold water (just enough to cover the shirt), add a tablespoon of vinegar, a tablespoon of lemon juice and baking soda. It will foam. Swish the shirt around in it for a few minutes and then let it sit for 15 minutes then rinse.

You may need to repeat it several times. It works best on cotton and items that have not been through the dryer, but it is worth a try. IF IT IS NOT A WHITE SHIRT, OMIT THE LEMON. LEMON MAY BLEACH COLOR FROM A COLOR SHIRT!
