Dr. Beckmann Colour run remover

Removes laundry discolourations and restores colours

Content: 2 sachets

  • Restores all white and colourfast fabrics
  • For all colours - all textiles, even delicates such as wool and silk

Product Description

Colour intensive garments can quickly cause discolourations when they are mistakenly washed with other garments. The colours bleed out and distribute the colour residue onto the entire laundry. The original colours can be re-created with Dr. Beckmann Colour run remover. Special ingredients remove the discolourations and destroy the unwanted colours. After the colour removal, the garments look as they did before.

Not ideal for

  • Synthetic fibres
  • Jeans
  • Indanthren colours
  • For the removal of sun lotion/milk or self tanner stains

FAQ

I've used the Colour Run Remover and the colours are now different than before. What can I do?

Perhaps you did not perform the colour-fastness test, before you began the colour removal process. If the textiles were not colourfast, then the original colour may have changed through the application of the colour remover. In this case it will not be possible to re-create the original colour. If this was not the case, we recommend repeating the application in the container with a manual washing process, to intensify the colour removal process and completely discolour the textiles through the longer reaction time.

I have intensively treated my discoloured laundry with colour remover in the washing machine, but the colour removal did not work.

Repeat the process in a container, and let the colour-removal solution react overnight. If the laundry is still discoloured, then the unwanted colour was colourfast, and cannot be removed.
