I hate it when I get a nice red blouse and it makes the whole wash pink! How can you stop the colour from running?

add a cup of vinegar to the wash....and be sure to use cold water. for anything new that's red, i soak in the sink before washing with a cup of vinegar. the vinegar sets the color and keeps it from running.

Some things bleed too much to do anything about it but Shout makes some sheets (look like dryer sheets) that you put in with the wash - called Color Catchers, I think. They work great if it's not a whole bunch of bleeding. Sometimes I use a couple of them if I'm concerned about it. You will see the color on the sheet after the wash.
Good luck!

Ok try washing your new red blouse first in cold water (of course) with vinegar, it sets the color in and will keep it from bleeding in the wash. Then just wash as usual each time using cold water! :-)

Wash brights together and if you get a new item and think it will bleed, wash it all by itself. I also use these collector sheets by Shout, they really work at picking up most colours that are in the water, but not all.

wash in COLD water with only other red colors for at least the next 5 washings. If you don't have other red clothes then do it in the sink alone. Then I would only wash it with colored clothes after that.

You can't stop it. You simply wash it seperately until the color fades out then put it in with dark items only.Never put dark items with light ones or you will have a whole new hue to those that are light colored......Good luck...(*_*)

Wash it in cold water OR wash it alone.

Wash it alone by hand or machine with some salt!
