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 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.

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.

My niece purchased American flag overalls for my nephew to wear with his 2 uncles on 4th of July. He wore them 2 days before the 4th of July and she needed to wash them. When she took the overalls out of the washer the overalls were pink. We had a very upset young man and Amazon could not get us anything before the 4th. After searching I found this stuff and figured what could it hurt. We received it the afternoon of July 3rd and followed the directions on the bottle and the overalls came out looking like new.

This product is a miracle. Have a vintage t-shirt that had blue bleed all over it, front, back, down the sleeves, even over the art work. I was going to toss it out, but decided to do a little research first. Found this product, simple to use, just dissolve the powder in hot water, put garment in, swish it around a little for just 2 minutes. I was shocked when I took it out, every bit of the blue bleed was gone, the shirt looked brand new, bright white, printed colors stayed bright. I don't know how all that happened in 2 minutes but it did everything it said it would and more.

Worked pretty well to diminish the color. We had kaki shorts that had a green towel bleed color. Ordered this after soaking overnight in vinegar, baking soda dish soap, peroxide all failed. Color had significantly reduced but still could see the green. Used this and it made the shorts good enough to wear just a slight greenish tint on the ones that had bad color bleed. Might have worked better if I had it on hand and didn’t have to wait two days

It didn't work this time. Very disappointed.

My son was notorious for washing khaki pants with red or dark colored shirts. I found this product many years ago at JoAnn's Fabrics. Once I had khaki pants with red splotchy legs I didn't feel like I had anything to lose in trying it and it worked so perfectly that I kept it in my laundry room. While I don't use as often any more, there are still times when Grandkids now wash everything together at my house and I have pulled this out and solved a crisis. Great stuff!

i followed the directions exactly for using this in a front load washer. the product promises that there’s no bleach and won’t ruin and discolor your clothes, i had a light grey pair of sweatpants that got some color run of red onto them, and this product covered the pants in bleach stains somehow. also my white shirts with red color run, didn’t get any better, maybe the slightest bit better if anything but still noticeably pink tint to em. would never use again.

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!!

Does the job well.

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.
