Add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse water the first time you wash them in cold water. This will set the color and keep the garments from bleeding on to other clothing in the load.

Always wash these items with like colors. I usually wash them alone in cold water the first wash. Never warm or hot.

Make sure you wash them in cold water the first few times you wash them. You can also soak them in a vinegar water solution for a few minutes before washing them for the first time, but I don't know how much vinegar to how much water.

...this is why momma says sort your lights and darks...to help "set" cheaper dyes in less expensive clothing, wash the pieces in cold salt water...just like when dying fabric...it can help...you can bleach out the whites that have stained....but, you may have lost some pieces to this problem....SORT YOUR CLOTHING....

wash them alone the first time you wash them, then you won't have that problem
