RIT to the rescue
Brent and I have several red shirts, and none of them have ever given us any laundry trouble. So I didn't think twice when I threw a maroon coat (that had not yet been washed) in the laundry with all our other clothes. I compleltely ruined my best pair of khaki pants. There was not just a small pink dot or two - it looked tie-dyed. I yelled in anger and kicked the washer in frustration.
Then I went up to the trusty internet and was advised to buy RIT color remover. The directions said to set the washer to agitate for 15-20 minutes, so I set it to prewash, and came back after 5 or so to check on it. All the water had drained out! I was really mad that I would have to run to the store agian and get more of this crap, but I picked up my pants and they were perfectly clean! Yay! Not one pink spot.
I think it helped that I never dried the clothes or and washed the color out right away (within 2 hours) - but I would recommend this product for all your laundry disasters. :)

I'd never heard of this stuff. I'll have to go to the store and look for it. Thanks for the heads-up.
