You can use a product called "color run remover" in your regular wash.

• Color run remover is made by several companies and can be purchased at Walmart/Target type stores as well as online.
• Be sure to read directions but it works with most material types.
• If the garment has been dried it may not work as well but usually with a second wash it will remove the color run but does not harm the original color in the garment.

• Be sure to purchase the color run remover and not the "color catcher" as they are two entirely different products and work differently in your wash.

You will need to be very careful with the names of these products as they are for different uses.

Color Grabber/Color catcher is for adding to a wash to absorb any wandering colors that may come from "colors" and attach to another garment (like yours did). But it has to be in the wash to grab/catch the colors and does not remove any colors from other items.

Color Run Remover is for removing colors that have already run onto another garment (like your item) and there are several brand names to choose from.

aside fro the above suggestions you could see if simple old bleach, applied to the specific area,does the trick - only works with a white garment though
