My kids played with bath paint on Thursday. A drop landed on nightgown, just washed it and load turned pink... Collar of baby's stretchy, kids and hubby's underwear...
Washed it twice more and white only stuff I bleached but it's not budging

What should I try now?

P.s. according to paint it shouldn't stain clothing...

Try RIT Color Remover, usually sold in the laundry products aisle.

Not yet. Is it more effective than bleach?

It's a stain remover and might help. I had a white skirt a few years ago that I got some random large stain on. I found the stain finally came out when I used oxiclean clean along with bleach. You can try adding baking soda too.

This.
Use on garments that are (were) completely white) and follow directions on the box.

Drying in the sun also helps. My husband had a shirt with blue and white stripes, and I turned the white stripes pink. Kept drying it in the sun over and over, and the pink faded (the stripes aren't white again, but they are off white, which is acceptable).

Ugh! It's like the scary part of The Cat in the Hat Comes Back come to life, pink stain and all!

I would washing everything in Clorox 2 + a good detergent like Tide. I personally find that Clorox 2 is gentler than Oxyclean.

Good luck!
