Soaking in cold water now.

Google says 1/2 cup washing soda in old water soak, then colour stain remover.

Doing that now, will report later. Can't shop til later.

Thanks Halex

Thanks everyone.
I have a colour run sachet in the cupboard but it was for  whites! Not navy blue and white.

DD went shopping to the supermarket and FORGOT to get the stuff!!!!!! 

She decided not to drive 6 miles to shops again just for this. I'd already rung local shop to check they didn't have it.
Consulted professor Google again: Experimented with 1/2 cup borax ( real borax) and 1/4 cup bicarbonate of soda.  50' wash. No detergent.
Still washing now. If ok, then will wash again with non bio persil her fav detergent.

Will report IDC.

Ps will be getting colour sachet for just in case again. It was DD's own mistake, thankfully, not mine!

Crickey o'reilly it seems to have worked!!!

I told DD that if looked ok when finished to wash again in persil. I was in the bath.
Just been down and hung shirt up after persil wash and unless you knew what had happened I don't think you can tell.

Amazing.

Will see what like when fully dry tomorrow.

Ps Did have shirt soaking in water all day so colour couldn't set.

Thanks for all help and support today.
