    HELP!!! my boosters are PINK!!!

    I didn't realise DH had put a brand new RED nappy in the machine, and all the microfibre boosters are pink!!!!

    All the covers and bamboo boosters are fine, but every microfibre is a feral colour.....

    I dont keep chemicals in the house, so what can I get to fix them??

    I CAN fix them, right???....

    OK, don't panic! LOL, I've done this myself!

    I had colour run through my BumG microfibre boosters. I went to Coles and got some Runaway (I think that's what it's called?) and they came up perfect. Get the one for taking colour out of WHITE fabric. There are two different kinds from memory.

    I think the sooner you do it, the better the result.

    I know!!

    If I rang Adam and asked him to get chemicals to fix them, he'd just laugh at me!!! He knows I hate them...

    But he knows how much I love my nappies too!!!

    The earlieast I could get anything would be late this arvo when he finished work... what do I do till then, keep them soaking, or let them dry???

    Or stop stressing???

    It won't affect the way they work...but do something if it really bothers you. You're the one that uses them, if you're gonna get grumpy every time you see the pink, it's worth sorting.

    Otherwise, when it gets sunny again, you could try some sun and see if that fades it a bit.

    Jodie, I was the same! I knew it would bug me every time I looked at them LOL!

    I think I just left mine soaking until I could duck out to get the runaway.

    I got a huge dye stain out of my DHs shirt with the runaway stuff. I had washed the shirt and dried it in the sun, and thought the ink stain was set, but 1 hr soaking the the runaway got it right out. I think you can just even use it in the washing machine without soaking the stuff first. Good luck with the nappies.

    After reading the initial posts, knowing i have some of that RUnaway stuff in the laundry cupboard, in case it happens to us, i got to the last line of THIS quote, read "until i could duck out to get the runaway" - i am so tired - i thought WILLOW WAS A PILOT!!!

    Microfibre tends to go grey after a year or so anyway so pink might not be so bad

    Ok, they are a soft lavender colour.....

    Lucky I love purple!!!

    They'll be good for Little Girl too I guess!!!

    But they have that "old and yucky"coloured look though....
