Returning clothes to white....

My mum kindly washed my archery whites with a terracotta sheet!!!! Everything is now pink

She tried washing them in 'colour run remover' but they are still pink

Any further tips???

Try using Oxyaction... in the pink tub, that sometimes works. Otherwise, soak them in dilute bleach. They'll go a bit crispy, but they should turn white!

I don't know, blaming your mum....

Interesting how's it's mostly women who are answering this thread! (So why I am here, I ask myself??)

My missus uses Ace for those sorts of accidents - it's a kind of dilute bleach solution - works well on my youngster's school shirts.

White gloss paint is usually a permanent way to make my clothes white....of course it will ruin the washing machine.

I'm with Clicki here, try Glo White, but when you buy it in a supermarket the same company make a stain remover as well. If my whites are looking a bit off then I use 2 liqui tabs of tetergent, a sachet or Glo White, AND one of their stain remover.

They generally "glo" afterwards

Hi Tracey,
How about-

Dye them green?
Buy dark greens?
Join a club with pink as its colours?
start a gay archery club and play the homophobic card against judges?
Picket GNAS to change the 'white rule' to pink?
Take up chess?

or

Don't give a dam and turn up at a comp. All judges seam to be calling inclemant weather at everyone I've been to, to avoid checking club colours!!!

On a practical level M&S second stores currently have loads of womens white clothes on sale - shorts,trouser,tops. (don't ask how I know)

That was a nice blouse you were wearing today, Whiskey
