I've tried spray and wash, bleach for colours and pink stuff (the organic pink goo). Nothing is working! Does anyone have a solution?

Take all the stuff that is supposed to be white and wash it again with detergent and real bleach and lots of it.
The stuff that is not supposed to be pure white can still be washed on its own (or with other similar/not pure white clothes) with a little real bleach. Just a little though. This should get rid of the pink while restoring it to close to the original colour. It will not likely be restored to the exact original though.
Put in the detergent with the clothes. Don't add the bleach until the washer has filled completely with water.
Laundry sucks!

Since you are looking for a last ditch effort. Try Rit Color Remover. It is also good for removing Kool Aid stains from carpet when accidently spilled. A weak solution of the color remover should allow it to work on the unwanted color faster than the original dye.
Try it with the items that you care the least about to see what kind of results you get.

The pink dye transfer usually disappears after about 3-5 normal washings.

Try using a generic stain remover mixed with a generic wool wash, and hot water. Use the setting on your washing machine that allows a soak before your machine actually washes the load.

Make sure you are not putting the bleach directly in with the laundry detergent because bleach and laundry soap have chemicals that neutrilize each other...do the soap first, then after the rinse, do the bleach and run another rinse...

I did that to a lot of my clothes... if bleach didn't work, i don't know what to tell you... If you're going to wash whites, wash them in cold water so that just in case you got something red in it, it won't affect it. About those pink clothes, keep trying bleach, but not enough to wear your clothes out. I don't think it's going to come out, but good luck with that...

My grandma has these sheets(not dryer sheets) she uses in the wash that grab ahold of colors and don't let them transfer to your other clothes. I forget what they're called, but she just gets them at krogers in the laundry isle.

You are screwed because anything strong enough to take out the color will destroy the clothing. Who put the RED in? It seems they owe you some money.
