i have a black and white skirt that went into the wash with a red item of clothing and now it has gone black and pink. is there any way of getting the pink back to white?

Bleach removes stains from coffee to ketchup on washable and colorfast fabrics (always test first). Never use bleach on wool, silk, mohair, leather or spandex. Try using lemon juice. Add one cup of lemon juice to wash water to remove discolorations from white, washable cottons. If that doesn't work try a mixture of lemon juice and salt. Rub into the affected areas. Place item in the sun to "bleach" out the stain. (Check label first. Some white fabrics are too delicate for this appoach.)

I had a pair of light cords (back in the 90s) that got pink on them in the wash...I put them back in with a bit of bleach and the pink came out

a very deluted dose of bleach. i'd say a capful to the washer, let the washer agitate a few minutes, then shut it off and soak the skirt in there. don't put the skirt in until you agitate the washer for a few minutes or it'll result in spotting of the black. if done right, it won't harm the black. i'd say soak the skirt for 20 minutes then cycle the washer through like normal. it works well for me... my white undies have turned pink lots of times....and i have to say they can't be brighter when i do it that way....lol.

Sometimes if you re-wash the item right away (before its dry) the unwanted color will come right out...add some color-safe bleach and/or oxyclean (or similar product) to help it out some...
That's a common mistake, don't sweat it...
