Hey I always have a problem that when i wash a new tee shirt, one of the colour will come off and stain to other part of the t-shirt with another colour. How to avoid this?

you can attempt to wash the item in cold water with an anti-run detergent, but if you have had this problem repetitively you might want to consider getting your shirts dry cleaned.

you should check with your detergent first if its too strong change brand. If you're using the concetrated liquid type , dont put too much, stick to the instructions or put less. Anyway you can just wash them again if you're not happy. NEVER ever use bleach. If you're using washing machine put it in the right cycle for colours i think it makes the water a little cooler so the dye wont dissolve.
Try to segregate your coloured clothes. Those dark coloured ones will less likely stain on the others. But those batik, bright coloured ones are the usual culprits. If they havent run out of dye after the fifth washing i suggest you wash them individually by hands.

Usually and washing the item in cold water. Don't use hot water as the colours run really badly. Wash the item by itself on gentle cycle (if you can get over the guilt of using water like that) and some products are made particularly to stop colours running. Check the supermarket, I think Preen has a product.

Two things:
1. Use cold water for the first couple of washes of new items. I use cold water in general, because it uses less energy.
2. With bright colors, especially red, wash the item seperately the first time.
This usually does the trick for me. Warm and hot water really make the colors/dyes bleed.

Either wash the clothes in cold water or send them to the
dry cleaner. It's probably best to dry clean those types of T-shirts

Wash the dark colors and the light colors in different loads in cold water.

Wash in cold water and make sure you don't use bleach or a detergent with a bleach additive. They make Woolite for colors now, I have never used it, but have seen a commercial for it.

well do you break it down to darks, lights, and whites? Or to be on the safe side do what i use to do and wash it all by itself.
