I did something similar to my daughter's JROTC snow white uniform top. :oops: I was in a hurry and washed her pants and top together. Her top came out gray!!! I felt like the worlds worst mom!! She had to wear her top that day and did get fussed at by her commander.

I went to Walmart and found something by Rit Dye. It was a color remover/whitener in the laundry aisle. I followed the directions and her uniform top came out snow white again. I was so relieived!!!! I am now extremely careful when I wash her uniform.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!!

Launder the clothing with four to six Shout Color Catchers and regular laundry detergent. You might have to do this twice, without drying in between. You will be ever so pleasantly pleased with the results.

My hubby ended up with pink kakhi dress pants the day before we were to leave on vacation :-( He phoned me at work and followed the above instructions to the letter :-)

We decided it was time to share a full box of Color Catchers with each child as we made the rounds during our vacation. They still thank us for the wonderful tip :-)

You go, Girl!

Try oxiclean....I think you will be suprised at the results. Use double the powder since it is a major color change....

I think that Rit's makes a dye remover - have you tried that?
