MarkitaW Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 have a customer who set out a quilt to get a smoke smell out of it and it got rained on.... the red in the quilt bleed onto the rest of the quilt... is there anyway to get this out??? It has not been dried... Thanks, Markita:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi Markita - it sounds scary, but it needs to be washed in Synthrapol - a special detergent you can find at the Local Quilt Shop -- it sounds scary because you have to use hot water, but it will take out the excess dye.

BethDurand Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 What about if it has been dried? Any thoughts there? What's most annoying is that I pre-wash ALL of my fabric, and it still ran! thanks, Beth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenscratch Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Try washing it with one of those shout color catcher cloths. You'd be amazed what they will capture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 I don't know if it exists in the USA but over here we have a product called 'Run remover' great stuff, does what it says on the tin. Here it is in the same part of the supermarket as the laundry powders. Ferret -- Ferret http://ferfab.blogspot.com http://www.ferfab.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
