To remove unwanted dye transfers, use HOT water. The dye is less attracted to the fiber when it is hot.

If washing in hot water doesn't work, try soaking it in hot water. If that doesn't work, then you can buy some Rit Color Remover and use it in the washing machine, but that's more trouble and bears a risk of removing some of the original color. The khaki shorts will probably retain their color in the Rit Color Remover, but the turquoise top might lose its color.

Update: "Wow, the hot water worked like a charm, of course washing both separately I added a little detergent and some cascade, soaked in the hot water for 30 minutes and both garments look like new, thanks so much."
