My jean keep bleeding

gburghappyheart

So I just got my firts pair of maternity jeans - yea!  They are a very dark blue, not my first choice but the pickings were slim.  They came with a warning about bleeding when washing.  So I washed them like 5 times in warm water thinking I could get the makority out.  I wore them with my brand new white tennis shoes and where they hit my shoes is turning blue.  Seriously! 

So questions one....how do I get them to stop bleeding?

Questions two....how do I get my brand new shoes clean without putting them through the wash?

Jeans - Wash them inside out in cold water and throw a Shout Color Catcher in with the load.

Shoes - Magic eraser... assuming they're not cloth. Or Fantastik. I hate that cleaner (it's the smell, once you use natural cleaners the other stuff smells horrible), but it does an awesome job at cleaning shoes.

 

ETA: I always wash all of my pants (jeans and dress pants) inside out. I don't want them to bleed and fade. Washing them inside out really helps curtail that. It's not just a one and done thing. I always wash them inside out. Even if they're old. It keeps the fabric looking new much longer.

I'd try what the above poster recommended but if that doesn't work maybe try washing them with some vinegar. Not sure if that would do anything, but that's what I would try.

I do this also. Anything that bleeds I put 1/2 cup white vinegar in the rinse cycle and it helps. I also use a color catcher just to be extra sure.
