G plan will probably tell(fob) you off . they usually like dry cleaning as it doesnt washout the flame retardant chemicals.  BUT you could try Dylon Colour Run , on a small paintbrush.  Fiddly and expensive mind. Works better first go but may still work even after the rinses.

Once came across this some years ago when subbing, went to view a problem
from another cleaner, couldn't see at first why blue stains on cream/brown poly cotton.
found the rope braiding contained non-colourfast blue cord. Final outcome was manufacturers
picked up the tab, as you cannot test for colour-fastness on internal fabrics, they should
never be of an unstable nature.

I had to read the title about 5 times before I realised what he was on about.
