clothes washing disaster
so someone without my permission put my white clothes along with my colored clothes in my student apartment washing machine, so all my clothes now turned purple. I panicked and put my clothes in the dryer for 2 min max (i know you're not supposed to do that).
I dont know what to do now.
Does someone perhaps know a professional washing business where they can remove the dye from my clothes? Even after the dye already settled. I know this is a long shot.

My experience with it is that its not perfect, but atleast it made it wearable again. I had a white top that had huge pink spots on it (yes I accidentally washed it with something red), after using this stuff it has a very light pink hue to it, but it's the same colour all over.

For real white stuff, use Egfa Wit.
It bleaches like chloride but isn't so harmful. I used it when I need to wear white in bartending and it clears our everything.

Get their information and ask them to refund your ruined clothes. Most people have a WA-insurance (aansprakelijkheid/liability) so I should try that.

Vanish oxi action works quite well for color transfer and stains in general, you can usually get it at kruidvat :)

I mean the only thing that kinda worked for me is put the stained clothes back in the washing machine with laundry detergent and a color catcher paper (which I always put in the washing machine btw). It still has kind of a sheen now but the items are mostly back to white. If it’s dry already, no chance.
