It doesn't seem to me like there's much hope for fixing it, but I told her I'd check with the experts. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
Is she using a front loader? They make color bleeds about 10 times worse because there just isn't enough water to float away the excess dye. Tell her to take it to a laundry mat or borrow a friends top loader and wash it several more times.
