To the ladies of TFT:
HELP!

I bought some very pretty Aqua colored face cloths
to replace the old ones I gave to hubby for his shop.

Any who-that color is bleeding all over the place!
Do you remember the old treatment to stop that?
I think it was soaking them in cold water and...salt?
*Aqua colored evil grin*

washing them a few times alone should fix it.

I think you soak them in vinegar or something. Maybe vinegar in water, not full strength.

I didn’t know you could do anything to fix it, so you know more than I do!

Cold water and vinegar...to stop the color bleed.

Or, like Rusty says....wash them ALONE a few times.

Well I always had to pre-soak colors of the same and it help it before washing.

I wasn’t aware of the vinegar solution to stop it.

No help,but that's all I know about dyes that some clothes have ruined over the years!
