My 14 yr old daughter is famous for washing things and having them fade and run. Her latest trick was to take ALL her new clothes at Christmas and wash them all together. Blue jeans, light colored shirts and hoodies, you name it. I sprayed the really bad spots with Shout, used a scoop of Oxyclean in the wash, and used a Color Catcher. It took 2 washings but everything was fine. Hope this helps.
