You can buy a product from the supermarket that will remove the unwanted colour - not sure whether it works if the clothes are already dry dunno

Normally you would wash them separately which keeps them white but i stuffed up.

I don't know if you can remove the pink completely - come on where's these wonder know it all washers help

Just googled it, here's a C & P for you ..

Colour has run in my wash. Is there anyway to restore my clothes to thier original colour?
Something red or pink ran in my washing yesterday. I have some underwear and a couple of tops that are now pink, they were once white. Is there anyway or getting the red/pink dye out or are they ruined? They all have other colours on them so I assume I can't bleach them.Colour has run in my wash.

Everything that is white can be bleached even though there may be some other colors on them as long as you do not use too much bleach. Follow directions on the bleach bottle for the size of the wash load. Use cold water and bleach. Do not put the clothes in the washer until these have mixed so you don't get holes in your clothes. Once the washer has filled to where you need it, let it start to mix the bleach and water together then add the clothes and let them sit for about a half hour then finish running the wash cycle. Hopefully the colors will come out, if not do it again, but do not dry the clothes in the dryer before bleaching them the second time as that will set the color even more. You can also add some white vinegar to the water, about a cup.

Well yeah, if you can't wear them anything's worth a try I guess.

Napisan takes stains out and whitens, but I don't think it would remove colour run.

Trouble is, the more products you try, the less successful the result is sigh

Good luck chickie wine

Plain undiluted bleach may be too strong and rot the fabric , the exit mould works very fasy plungeing it into the cold water stops the whitening action and saves the fabric
good luck
Ive saved many a shirt with exit mould , another hint if you spill bleach on a coloured top and get a white spot instead of throwing it tie rubber bands all ova it and spray with exit mould then plunge wallah!! Tie dyed hippy shirt !!!
