How do I get dark blue stains out of a thin pink cotton shirt?

I washed some really dark blue clothes with a pink shirt and usually the colour won't come off because I wash them in cold water. The colour did come off this time and my pink shirt is covered with dark blue streaks and is ruint right now. What's the best way to get these stains out? Suggestions please.

DYE is your best best at this point...
Reply:Lesson 1. Don't mix coloreds - "soft and pale colors" with very dark fabrics.





Proposition 2. I usually can't be bothered to remove stains, so I'd be inclined to DYE it dark blue as well.





Idea 3. If you are really desperate to resurect the shirt, take the advice of some one / a dye manufacturer, who can point you in the correct direction.





Concept 4. If it fails, buy some dark blue die and either just dye it or get creative and BATIK or TYE die it...

Reply:yep. it was the bleach fading the pants. try washing the shirt by it's self, if that don't work try using a clear detergent with bleach, and scrub the stains out, then let it soak. lastly, fill the tub with cold water, add 1/2c full of bleach to the water. agitate the water for 3mins, let it stand for 8 mins, then put the shirt into the water dippin' it like nuggets, and the blue should run off like a track star.....AGITATE THE WATER, DON'T FORGET THIS STEP.(if you do, you will $%$## up a nice pink shirt)
