FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS –
 
Can Carbona® Color Run Remover be used on colored clothing?
Yes, if the clothing is colorfast (the dye correctly set in the fabric by the manufacturer). You must first perform the colorfast test as directed on the package.
 
I have a full washload of garments - is 1 box enough?
For a full washload we recommend using 3 packs of Color Run Remover. You can purchase as a multi-pack.
 
If I have 3 different colored garments with unwanted dye on them, can I put them all together in with Carbona® Color Run Remover? 
Yes, as long as all the garments are colorfast. You must first perform the colorfast test as directed on the package.
 
Can I use Carbona® Color Run Remover on something that bled into itself?
No. When a garment bleeds, it is not colorfast. This product is only for colorfast fabrics.

How do you know if a garment is colorfast?
If the color in a garment runs when water is applied, then the garment is not colorfast. The only other way is to perform the colorfast test as directed on the package. If you are still unsure how to proceed, please contact us at 866-CARBONA.
 
Can Carbona® Color Run Remover be used on "dry clean only" garments?
No. Carbona® Color Run Remover needs to be mixed with water and a "dry clean only" garment should not be submerged in water.
 
Can I use Carbona® Color Run Remover with bleach?
No.
 
Can I soak only the area where the unwanted dye is?
The recommended usage of Color Run Remover is to soak the entire garment, but if you want to try this method, proceed with caution.
 
What if the garment says wash in cold water?
Carbona® Color Run Remover says to use the hottest water permitted by the fabric care guidelines. So if the garment label says cold water, then the garment needs to be soaked in cold water.

After soaking a garment in Carbona® Color Run Remover, do you have to rinse and wash the garment?
Yes, all products need to be rinsed out with water and then washed with detergent.

Can I use Carbona® Color Run Remover in a front loading washing machine or a high efficiency (HE) washing machine?

Thank you so much for removing the “blue” from my day!!!

I’ve used your products for years and there is NOTHING better on the shelves or online for getting stains out of things. Recently I found a new product of yours (at least to me, it was new) called “Color Run Remover”. I purchased it only because everything you make works just like it says it will and to have it in my laundry “just in case”. Well, today was that day. I had washed a new blue t-shirt with my light colored things, thinking is was pretty expensive, it shouldn’t run. But you guessed it, it did. My entire wash load turned blue (the yellows were now lime green…yikes). So I used you product (noted above) and IT WORKED…I’m so excited. Everything came out perfect and back to the original colors!! How do you do it????? Why are you the only company out there selling such wonderful products…..it’s amazing and I just had to tell how happy I am. I’ve told all my friends about your little yellow bottles of stain removers for years…….now I have a new product to boast about. Thank you so much for removing the “blue” from my day!!!

I saw an article on this product in my Goodhousekeeping magazine and decided to try it because I had color run stains on my favorite jacket and didn’t think there was any hope for it. I used the product and it took ALL of them out and the jacket looks great!!! Thank you so much for your product and I will be recommending it.
