Removing Dye that Transferred in the Wash?

Removing Dye that Transferred in the Wash - red streaks on dark shirt I washed a small load of mostly delicate shirts along with a pair of blue jeans in a gentle cycle cold water wash. I did not realize that 1 of the reds would run all over everything. This is what happened to all of the shirts. The only product that I have is OxiClean powder and I am wondering if this would be effective. Thankfully nothing has gone into the dryer. How should I try to fix this?

Color grabber is usually the best solution when colors run in the wash.

There are several different brands of this product and these can be found in Walmart/Target type stores or on line at Amazon, etc.
Look for these products in your laundry cleaners section.
They may have several brands so read the label to find one that matches the material in your shirts and some are for light/white colors only.
Choose from brands Shout, Carbona, Ritz, Clorox but read everything on the package.
Color grabbers and color catchers are not usually used for the same reasons so read carefully.
