Carbona Color Run Remover (2.6 Oz), Ultra Strong Laundry Dye Transfer Remover, Helps Fix Color Run Accidents, Brightens Whites, Hand or Machine Use

I bought a cotton shirt printed with dark green and white areas. I washed with a red towel and the white areas turned pink. Tried several DIY methods but the pink would not come out. This product got it out in one minute! Also did not affect the dark green color. Score!! Glad I did not ruin the shirt!

One star is not low enough. Out of desperation to fix a sentimental set of pajamas, I had to try this product. My child had a red, white and blue patterned pajamas that were thrown into the wash by accident with a red table cloth. The red table cloth bled, and pinked all the white parts of the pajamas. I tried all oxy products and stain fighter detergents to no results. Tried this product as directed with test spots, seemingly ok. Clothes didn't appear to be colorfast after spot testing, and especially after getting washed at least 20 times before without bleeding I thought I was in the clear. Started to wash with this product and at first there was no change, but then it started to activate. The reds on parts of the shirt bled out and left a mustard brown color. The deep blues were nearly wiped out like acid was jeans. Some parts of the shirt seemed un-phased. In an attempt to stop the product from making things worse, I tried to rinse asap but the damage was done, it continued to bleed for another 10 minutes afterwards. There was no stopping the reaction. Ironically, the pinks I intended to remove are still just as pink with no result. This product worked hard to remove the existing colors that it was not supposed to work on, but not the pink bleed it was intended for. Any chance of saving these pajamas are now completely out of the question, I should've left them alone with the pink bleed. To be honest, I don't know how some people made out good with their results. This product failed miserably. My only advice is only attempt this on a garment you're willing to part with if it doesn't work.

💕Does EXACTLY what it’s supposed to do!…Just Follow The Directions! I used a Plastic Bowl with a Wooden Spatula…Microwaved the water for 2 minutes. Cut the package open…Let product dissolve in the water, stir before adding clothing…Once you add clothing in the water, it will brighten IMMEDIATELY, stir clothing in the water/product consistently, for 2 minutes! & YOU’RE DONE! (It worked for me in 2 minutes,) it may take longer depending on the color & material of the clothing…(No longer than 30 minutes) Should see results in 30 minutes or LESS! 💕EASY BREEZY! 💕

I did the cliche thing and threw in a maroon clothing item with a load of mostly light colored clothes, including brand new clothes for my kids that I was washing for the first time. An unpleasant surprise awaited me when I opened the washer -- literally every single other item of clothing was pink-hued -- like a dark pink. Some were splotchy and some were solid pink. (I had put in a color catcher but it wasn't enough to guard against this apparently highly saturated piece of clothing.) I was SO UPSET! I immediately dove into research mode, read about using vinegar, very diluted bleach, or Oxiclean -- totally useless. Then I read about Carbona's Color Run Remover and decided to give it a whirl. OMG, it really worked and saved my entire load of clothes!!! Now, I did do a colorfast test as recommended and saw no difference, however, after going thru a wash cycle, some of the clothes did indeed fade or change color a bit. I didn't mind though as it was oodles better than being stuck with a buncha pink clothes. I wish I had taken pix of the clothes before and after so I could post, but alas, I did not. I have other stain removal products from this brand and they always work -- this product was no different. I feel like I sound like a commercial, but seriously, thanks Carbona! You rescued hundreds of dollars of clothes!

The product smells pretty bad. Kind of sulfuric. It didn't work on tan linen that was stained blue. I tested it in a small area and it stripped the tan color out and turned it yellow. I tried hot water with dish soap and it worked just fine!

Very strong. It removed the color run, but also removed most of the fabric's original color as well. It did its job a bit too well!

My dad helped with my laundry by putting a bright blue rug in with my white sweatshirt... I was very nervous to use this product because the reviews were all over the place. This was the only thing that worked. I tried all the Google suggestions but this took the bright blue out of my white sweatshirt. Great value and easy to use. It doesn't say it on the box but you will need gloves to handle. It mentions needing gloves on the inner package but would be nice to know before you open the box.

Not usually writing reviews but I feel the need to warn people this time. THIS STUFF SUCKS. Not only did it leave the dark hew from the bleeding it also bled out the original color. Several shirts completely ruined!!! Zero stars if I could.
