How to brighten colours in the wash?

If the wash has stripped out the dye colour, then there's nothing you can do.

If the wash has made it kinda grey, you could try a quick soak in napisan, otherwise there are dye-run removers you can get at teh supermarket (make sure you use the one for COLOURED clothes or it will wreck it completely). We had grey front-loader clothes problems until we realised it's a feature of front-loaders that you only need a tiny amount of detergent, so using half a scoop followed by a vinegar rinse has worked for us.

Nappysan always works for me. Either soke them over night in nappysan or put some in the wash.

Yeah, it's kinda grey-ish...

When I go out to pick dh up, I'll grab some nappysan and vinegar.

Is there a particular "brand" of nappysan that works the best?

I use the one thats white with purple writing. Have found thats the only one you can just put in the wash with the detergent before the water has gone in. The others you have to make sure its disolved in water before you put it in the wash or it will slightly bleech your clothes.
