KateP Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have just washed a new t-shirt of OH's which is yellow with a red print on it. The red print has bled all over the t-shirt (but luckily not on any of the other washing in the load). Does anyone know if it would be possible to get the red colour out? I seem to remember seeing products in the supermarket but do they contain bleach? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiepoppies Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi there! If you followed the washing instructions, I'd take it back! I'm a great believer in getting something 'fit for purpose' and not letting retailers pass off shoddy goods for a [usually] inflated price. I once took back a pair of childrens shoes when the sole felloff after a week. The shop said 'well, he must have worn them' My reply isn't printable....but I got replacement shoes Jackiex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen&Lee Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I agree with jackiepoppies, if you have followed the wash instructions it is more likely to be a fault with the T-shirt and there will be very little you can do about it. Take it back, I doubt you will have any problems getting your money back. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whittlewitch Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 kate, I spent a fortune recently trying products to remove colour run from my daughters t-shirt and whilst they improved it slightly they didn't remove it completely, I tried several times (it would have been cheaper to buy the t-shirt again) but there is still a mark. I have used these products previously ( yes I do seem to make a habit of this ) and they never seem to work! Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KateP Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yes I did wash it correctly (I checked the label afterwards!). I suppose it would be best to take it back - I just wondered if there was any way to rescue it first. I'm just glad it hasn't ruined anything else.

ajm200 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Definately take it back. There are too many shops selling sub-standard goods at the moment and to few people are willing to complain. You may find that the shop will just give you a refund will little or no fuss. We had a nice surprise in Clarks the other day when we went to get my son a pair of shoes. I mentioned that the sandals we'd bought for him 2 weeks before had rubbed. The lady took a look at his feet, asked us to allow her to return the sandals and gave us a full refund It makes a change to see such good proactive customer service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
