So I went to do laundry today and it looks like someone left a bunch of reds in the dryer...without turning it on because they are soaked. There was ONE purple shirt in there that just decided to bleed all over everything else. I seperated them by major colors (reds, pinks, and lights) and hung them over different chairs. I'm not sure how many days they were in the dryer like that. Can they possibly be saved if they have not been dryed? Should I rewash them? Any help would be wonderful.

i would re wash them colors separated, maybe more than once with plenty of soap. i have saved clothes like this but i did it immediately after they bleed in the wash

U can seperate all like colors use a product called Woolite, it is very good at bringing out the colors in clothing, also Tide the color safe kind, wash each load of like colors again hopefully the tint will wash out, next time be more carefull a good shirt is hard 2 find nobody wants to have 2 buy a new wardrobe What a mess!!!

Oh! That sucks, I would try using OxiClean. I washed a pink shirt with some whites once and it really helped to fade it out. Just adding it to your laundry helps to get your clothes cleaner, give it a try!

Rit makes a powder that removes dyes and stains - find it next to the dye at Walgreens. If the red doesn't wash out, try Rit.

wash with lots of soap several times and if that dont work I have saved pinks by bleaching them , what have you got to lose if it doesnt work then their ruined anyway.
