well not exactly in the wash but when drying.

the sleeve of a red shirt just out of the wash ended up resting on and drying on a hanger managed to be resting against the thigh of a pair of white trousers, which now have a small pink spot on them, i tried rewashing the trousers to no avail, can anyone recommend anything to remove the die mark.

both shirt and trousers are cotton but the trousers are limited to a 50degree max wash temp and are not suitable for dry cleaning or tumble drying.

i'll get the dylon and the oxy ones hopefully they will work.

Lazybug colour catcher wouldnt help as this transfer took place whilst hung out to dry on hangers not in the wash.

Thats what I was thinking of! I used one before when my muppet ex put in a light top of mine in the wash with his jeans

The dylon stuff worked a treat though

I know hun but I just thought I'd mention it as I have never looked back since using colour catcher. It was just an aside. I put colour catcher in every wash and my whites are white white white and all my friends ask me how I keep everything so white and that's the secret and also I NEVER have anything remotely coloured near a white wash.

I hope you manage to get the red out with the stain removers
