Taking dye OUT of clothes?

    Bought a lovely navy and cream top for my hols 2 weeks ago.
    Love it, its soft, colours and shape suited me to a tee!
    Get home from hols, gather the washing(I live in parents house,
    still :rolleyes:) and tell me ma that I'll do it when I back from work, DON'T TOUCH THEM, PLEASE.
    Needless to say she ignored this and ploughed into them....
    Today, my lovely top is navy and a crappy pinky colour. Looks cheap, old and was washed on high (even though supposed to be 40) wash and so feels very 'hard', if you know what I mean.

    Anyone of your fashionistas know if there is something I could use to remove the pinky colour, or should I admit defeat, move out and never let her near my washing again! :P


    P.S I know her heart was in the right place, but this isn't the first time, and its why I insist on washing my own clothes.

    P.P.S Its 100% viscose..... if that helps

    I have a silk dress that's black with silver-grey details and trim. I washed it incorrectly and the black ran into the silver bits! I thought it was ruined but rewashed it, on its own, with Punch colour-run remover and a Punch colour-catcher (which I now use in every wash) and it's fine :D

    A word of warning though...there's a Punch product called Colour catcher + stain removal in one (or something). It's more like a sachet than a sheet and it is not suitable for use with delicate fabrics.

    But give the other stuff go. It might work :)
