Red shirt in the wash

I have a red shirt that leaked dye the first time I washed it.  Is there any way to ensure this won't happen again?  I've washed it three times already but the other two times, just by itself. 

Re: Red shirt in the wash

  • Wash on cold. I would think after three times it should be fine. I wouldn't throw it in with white things, though.

    Ditto!

  • Gosh, I'd think after three washings all of the bleeding of color should be done.  Wash in cold with junky darks if you're still concerned.  Or you could run a test.  Hand wash it in the sink by itself with detergent to see if it bleeds into the water in the sink.  Then you'll know if the dye is still coming off.

  • soak it in the sink in vinegar. Fill the sink with vinegar so the item is totally submerged, but it works like a charm!
