Just found that colour from a dark top in my wash has bled a neon green t-shirt into a dull green (looks like loads of red stains if you look really close)
Maybe under UV light it won't matter much, but it looks dire now, and cost me a fair bit.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to get rid of said dark stains?
Daft question, maybe...

I like my cyber clothing, in addition to the mesh, nets, drainpipe jeans, Docs, safety-pin-covered skirts, etc. A lot of variation, Tim
I've tried nothing yet, Mark, just happened last night. Guess that's what happens what I decide "hang on, if I wash all my "hand-wash only" clothes together, maybe it won't damage them much!" at 2am.
Though in my defense, this particular top had NO care tag at all, so I was at a loss.

You could buy some dye and re-do it yourself

My girlfriend (once psytrance fanatic ) says when neon green turns into something else it won't never be neon green again, no matter what (to shorten a 15 minutes speech..)

While both the genre and subculture have been utterly crap for years now, the golden age ( 1994-98 ) was truly magical, and Sweden had one of the strongest scenes on the planet. The only thing I regret is ditching the sisters at Arvika '98 in favor of the psytrance party

You're right it is a daft question

Hmmm not sure about luminous green. Did once get a letter printed in UTR discussing the green of the Republic's kit, which at that point was deep and green. Of which approved. I think it was a world cup year. By the way were The Leather Nun and Jesus Couldn't Drum Swedish? Can't recall but damn fine names for bands....

Seriously: I know the problem but haven't found a solution for coloured clothes yet, unless you want to bleach and re-dye them. Sorry...

I think you can still get these special sheets in the supermarket (like those Bounce tumbledryer things) called 'colour run remover' or suchlike. I think the idea is that you rewash the offending garment with the sheet which magically mops up the extra dye...might be worth a go?Dark wrote:I don't mind if it's not MASSIVELY dayglo again, but I'd like it slightly improved.
So far the options are:
1) Vanish stain remover
2) Soak for a few hours
Any more?
