So my helper has dyed a whole bunch of my work shirts grey.

Anyone know of a product available in Hong Kong that will remove the unwanted dye? And where to buy it. I've looked in Wellcome and not found anything.

There's a wee stationery shop on Stanley St in Central (I think it's called Sam's?!?), right near the Pottinger St lanes bit ~ they have all sorts of dye-related stuff in there (including Dylon brand) so it might be possible that they have what you're looking for.

Alternatively, try an art supplies shop that sells paints, dyes etc. I know there's a huge one on Lockhart Road somewhere, near Luard Road, but sorry, don't know name or add of it ~ quite useless, I realise!

the cheap way might be just to soak them in bleach.

A dry cleaners might know what to do.

Oh dear what a nightmare!

Try this:



It's called Kao Wide Bleach, bleach especially for colourful clothes. You can get them in any supermarkets. Hope it helps.

Thanks shazza, but I the stuff I'm looking for is (I think) different. It removes the colour which has run and leaves other colours unbleached.

I did this myself in the UK a few years ago, and there was something available to fix it. Worked a treat but I can't remember the name.

I'll go talk to your stationery man if I have no luck Lola.

Are you looking for this, TCAG?



Think Ms G's stationery shop is the best shot as they sell Dylon stuff. If not, you could try CitySuper.

PS if the accident happened today, keep the shirts wet, i.e. soak them. If they are dry, it will be harder to remove the hue.
