Dye Transferred in the Wash?

I washed a white sweater with a hot pink one and now the white is pink. The granddaughter is going to be really mad at me. Help.

Try washing each sweater by itself with 2-3 Shout Color Catcher Sheets, available in the detergent aisle at the supermarket. The box will say use 1, but I have found more is better. Then let the sweaters air dry. If they were dried in the dryer, the color may be set, but it is worth a try.

Another method you could try is soaking each sweater by itself over night in warm water with powder dish washer detergent dissolved in it. Use a container deep enough for the sweater to be completely submerged in the water and detergent. Weight the sweater down by putting a plate on top to keep it under the water. Use a cup of detergent to a bucket of water, mix well, then soak. Then rinse well and air dry.

Both of these methods have saved clothing for me. Hope this helps.

Try soaking in warm water with lemon juice, might work.
