as you can guess they are now a funny shade of pink, any ideas of how i can get them back to their original colour.

My grandma gave me a solution for this when it happened to me...
Get some cheap dish washing powder (not the liquid kind) and some fabric softner (any kind as long as its liquid) use enough water to cover the clothes.......
Soak the clothes in that mixture for a few hours (I've done it in as little as one hour!) ....then wash as normal...the color will be as white as it was before!!

Colour run or Stain Away from Tesco,s or similar. Keep the items wet or the pink will set in.
Beware if you've got any embroidery or ribbons in another colour, the stain away will turn it a faded weird colour.
Or try bleach.

you will have better luck if you DID NOT put them in the dryer. try the cold water and bleach. The hot water sets in the color- so does salt.
It will take several washing so as long as the material is holding up keep washing but DO NOT let thm dry in between or it will be hardder to remove.

Dylon do some really fab colour run remover, I have used it and I would recommend it to anyone. Then get some colour catcher sheets and put them in every wash just in case...

Good for you. That happened to me with my favourite bra + panties but they are a nice shade of pink. I don't know, i leave it the way it came out.
Sorry for not helping

try to keep washing them and use bleach, it'll brighten it up, but i don't think the original colour can come back

I would say it is a lost cause, have you dried them yet? If not try soak them in bleach and pray. If you have dried them good luck you can still try it but it's worth a shot!â¥
