    HELP! Emergency dye-run remedy??

    AARGH! DH has just had his FOURTH dye-run disaster in recent weeks. The rest have been minor (involving underwear that will never be seen) but this one is particularly bad and includes a my favorite colour sheets, Missy E's Grobag (thereby obliterating its ebay resale value!!!) and a couple of cotton blankets.

    Any tips? I know you can buy dye-run remover at the shops but hoping there's a quicker and easier and cheaper solution than that?

    Yeah, I trust only in runaway. I even have some in my cupboard JIC.

    Sorry! I hope you manage to rectify...

    I personally hate runaway and found it lightened some of my clothes after soaking.
    We use one by the company Dylon. It comes in a black box and it is fantastic. We always have some in our laundry JIC.
