    Rit dyes has a product called "color out" or something like that. Good luck!

    I have used the Rit color remover with some success. Also Carbonara makes a "color run remover" that I have in my laundry room just in case. Thankfully I have not yet had to use it.

    As Betty and Donna said, there are several products on the laundry aisle of your grocery store or big box stores intended for just this purpose.

    Not being in the USA, in AUS we use bleach [white king] - amt depends of type of fabric... I once had a whole load go pink, and boss did not appreciate wearing pink underwear as he was not a sissy. We do have RIT but found the old fashioned bleach the best, have used it for over 40 years, started back when jeans first appeared on market and wanted to fade them.
