Prompt state of distraught sets in. I realize that the only way I can fix this is to search COW, find the redye process and go to town on it.Well, the search for RIT spanned a half dozen stores (note for others, not all stores stock RIT in the same section of the store.... some stock it in with laundry detergent and others stock it with the sewing supplies). Also, I wound up buying the Tan, Pearl Grey and Color Remover at three different stores (it doesn't seem to be well stocked aywhere).
Now I'm finally back home and I'm ready to start the stove top process. I've got a pot of water on the stove and I'm reading the directions. DO NOT USE AN ALUMINUM OR NON-STICK POT. Well, I'm out of luck here... seems every pot I own falls into one of these two categories. I reluctantly decide to go with the washing machine method.
I set the machine on small load and and add the recommended two boxes of color remover for the stove top method. After at least two hours of running to the machine to keep it in the agitate cycle, I finally let it finish its course. This shirt is looking mighty pink at this point.
I now run it through with bleach and detergent to clean it up so I can see the results. Once that is done, I pull it out and it is a beautiful shade of peach. Extreme nervousness sets in. I thought it stunk when there was a spot on the shirt, but now I've got this peach colored shirt.
I reread the directions on the box and see that the stove top recommendation is one box of color remover and small machine load is two boxes.... Well the stove top method listed on Dalexs's site is two boxes. So I figure I should have had four for the machine method.... when I get home from work tonight, I'll be going to the store and picking up some more color remover and starting the process over. I hope it cleans it up this time.
Further status to follow. Wish me luck.
Mike
