Fabric bleeds

Friday, June 3, 2022 at 5:34 PM
Hi everyone,

I have some blue fabric at home that I’ve already washed. My purple and orange bedding, which I’ve washed many times, also bleeds a lot.

What can I do about this?

Best regards, Gabi

Try adding a splash of vinegar to the water; that should prevent the color from bleeding.

At dm (and probably other drugstores too), they sell color and stain catchers (Dr. Beckmann brand). They’re reusable terry cloth towels. You just put one of these towels in the washing machine drum with your laundry, and it absorbs the excess dye.

You learn something new every day. You never stop learning. 

I knew about vinegar, but color catcher sheets—I’m surprised 😊

Color-catching sheets work well. I always put them in with my quilts.
Best regards, Marita
