My prized Manchester marathon 2012 tee got washed with some darks... that ran.
It was mostly white. Now it's a bit blgghhh. Is there anything I can do?

I was about to throw mine in the bin
To be honest once whites discolour (for any reason) it is nigh on impossible to restore them. You might have a slight chance with bleach if it is white cotton but a tech top - no chance I'm afraid.
The tattier, mankier and murkier a running top is, the better. It's the blood, mud, sweat and drool and snot stains on it that mark you out as a real runner.
Embrace the bleurgh
Vanish Gold for whites might help.
BANG! and the dirt is gone!
Read some positive stuff about white wine vinegar, so I thought I'd give it a go.
This is probably a stupid question though - is white malt vinegar the same stuff? They had this in Morrison's, but not the wine one.
No, not the same.
Vanish gold is good stuff/.... use it on my sons jodphurs......but be careful with the bottle as the liquid is a bit leathal....
