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

Successfully saved my dress! It is a 100% viscose dress with white and blue sections, and the white part had turned pink from color transfer. The color run remover worked quickly and removed the pink completely — the white areas are perfectly white again. The only downside is that it slightly darkened the blue parts, but overall, I’m very happy with the result!

It worked a little bit. Not perfect. The pink still showed up a little bit on the white fabric. But I definitely saw improvement so OK.

I tried this product on 6 items: my son's new pair of green pajamas and 2 white onesies that a red garment had bled all over; and a sweater and top of mine that had mysterious dark markings on them and thus had been sitting in the back of my closet for awhile. I mixed up a small batch of the remover per the box's instructions to test for colorfastness of the garments first. Actually I used a little more water than instructed, but I feel like it was still a super-strong solution-- even though I tried to test an "inconspicuous" area of the garments, it quickly spread and left big bleached out spots on all of them (except for the white onesies of course). Then figuring I had nothing more to lose, I dumped the cup of solution into a sink full of water, and put the clothes in there. The red was removed from the onesies instantly, as well as from the pajamas, though the bleached out spot from the colorfast test remained. My top and sweater both turned weird colors all over, and the markings stayed put, so I threw them out...I hadn't been wearing them for awhile anyway due to the color runs on them, so I wasn't too torn up about it. In conclusion, this product works, but I had mixed results because my garments were obviously not "colorfast." It works on whites, though I'm not sure it's a much gentler alternative to bleach (you must wear gloves while using!) I would recommend trying it only if you'd be okay not being able to wear the clothes again.

All I can say is WOW!!! My son washed a few of his white shirts with his new red shirts. The outcome, bright pink shirts! We tried OxyClean, bleach with Dawn, re washing twice in hot water, nothing worked. Someone suggested Carbona and honestly I doubted it would work but after less than a minute of soaking I could see the pink vanishing. All the shirts were restored to white and my son could not be more pleased. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Absolute miracle! I had bought fabric for various sewing projects and washed it all together. A bright, blue floral bled all over some very expensive linen. I thought it was ruined. Do the test on a small spot. One of the fabrics gave up it's own dye in the Carbona, but the rest were rescued! Like it never happened.

I used this product for the first time to remove blue dye transfer from a pair of jeans that stained my white hoodie in the washing machine. At first, I was honestly very impressed because the stains disappeared almost immediately in the hot water solution. However, when I took the hoodie out of the bucket and started rinsing it with cold water, the blue color came back instantly and the hoodie looked stained all over again. I had to repeat the whole process using a second box of the product. The second time, instead of rinsing with cold water, I used warm water first. Some light blue areas still tried to come back during rinsing, so I placed the wet hoodie back into the same solution again, and the stains disappeared once more. After that, I rinsed carefully with warm water, then washed the hoodie in the washing machine with regular detergent and fabric softener. In the end, the hoodie came out looking clean again and the product really saved it. The only downside for me is that the product has a pretty strong smell, and even after washing the hoodie, I can still notice it a little bit. Hopefully it will disappear after another wash. Overall, the product worked very well and saved a white hoodie that I thought was ruined.

Did not work for the level of pink/red that was stuck in my whites. Was very hopeful as I have loved carbona stain devils and they’ve worked for me for everything before.

I should have taken a before and after picture but completely forgot to. I accidentally washed a dyed shirt with my Beyoncé CowBoy Carter merch. If you know anything, you know the shirt was hella expensive. I was devastated when I pulled it out the washer and it was bright pink. Might be your vibe but it’s not mine, okay! It also dyed a pair of white work pants, that were also pretty pricey. My cowboy Carter shirt? Looks brand new! It even got some of the color run from when I originally washed it and the letters bled just a little on the back. The shirt was 100% cotton so I’m thinking that’s why it worked so well. My work pants (75% Rayon/22% Nylon/3% Spandex) on the other hand? Not so much. It is significantly lighter than when I started but there is still a pink hue to them. I plan on repeating the process to see if maybe it will lift the second time and I will update my review. But overall pretty solid product. I also did not dry my clothes when I first noticed the color bleed, as drying with heat can lead to the color setting permanently. Honestly follow the instructions down to the last letter!

Well..What have I got to lose ??? Just 3 Victorian Nighties paid over $100.00 each..Accidently got washed with a Red Nightgown..OMG!! I was in tears!! So I purchased this product and followed the directions..well kinda...I did not notice much of a change...so I gave up and just left them in the kitchen sink...Still Pale Pink...Then put them in the machine on Delicate..laundry soap..WOW!! They are now back to being WHITER than WHITE...I am in total awe!! Very Very Happy!! Dancing!! Hip Hip Hurray!! Thank-you!!

My shirt (red) shared with my wife’s (white blouse) didn’t dry just bagged and froze it till I got some of this stuff. 5 minutes in the mixture and all is well!. Would recommend and use it again—- in fact the blouse looks brighter and whiter!

I am totally shock that this Color Run Color Remover, removed my original dress color!!! My dress was orange in color, it becomes yellow!!! BUYER BE WARNED this is only suitable for WHITE and not colored material clothes. This totally ruined my dress that costs S$159!!! Wrote to the supplier but reply is automated and brought round and round... I will NEVER BUY another Carbona branded goods.

Useless product. It decolored my entire pink dress (some areas were pink and other half turned brown). Tried on 3 different dresses and all got decolored instead of removing the stain. Best thing - you can't return the product and your dress is also gone!

Researched a lot before purchasing. Did the patch test, Followed instructions. Result? Ruined two of my favorite dresses. Conclusion: Seems to be best for taking pink that has ran from red into whites. Terrible with everything else. Bleached an orange into a yellow and blues barely shifted, so didn't get rid of the blue run off from a black garment. Advice? Only risk with pink bleed off and with something you don't care if it is ruined. Also, forget the patch test. Useless. Dunk it for mere seconds if you have used a concentrated dose and immediately rinse in freezing water over and over and then toss in washing machine with cold water rinse.-- Wish I had tried other methods first. Hope this prevents the ruination of one of your favorites.
