I'm in need of a good detergent for colors (obviously) because my clothes are experiencing slight bleeding and fading after just one wash. In your experience, what has worked the best?

I always use liquid detergent. Does the best job for all colors...I use Purex.
If you're noticing some bleeding of colors then make sure you only wash colors in cold water.
And if you have a particular item which is suspect, soak it in salt water and re-launder. The salt will set the dyes and make the garment color-fast.

Color Protecting Detergent

I have personally gone ORGANIC with my laundry soap. Which SOUNDS expensive but it’s not. I got a dry soap powder for like $10 (80 loads) from www.SANDYCREEKSOAP.etsy.com and can I tell you IT’S AWESOME!!!! You barely need a teaspoon for a FULL load! And it’s works on whites, colors, STAINS... and it’s BABY SAFE! I just bought some for a friends baby shower, and they LOVE it! You can but different scents like lavender, lemon, etc. They also include directions on how to use the soap for a basic cleaning solution. I put it in a spray bottle and clean my WHOLE house with it!!! It’s great, just thought I would share this too (which is WHY I switched from store bought detergent to ORGANIC)....
I was diagnosed with rosaceae (red splotches) and suffered with it for years - under a Dr’s care...
I was told SOAPS (or what was in them rather) was creating my skin problems. I suffered with it for years until I took heed and listened. I bought their facial tea tree oil soap and their laundry detergent... and can I tell you - My life has changed!
What you need is HANDMADE or hand-milled soap made the old fashion way. Their soaps have GLYCERIN in them (a natural moisture retainer). In STORE bought soap glycerin is sold for profit and replaced with a chemical called sodium lauryl sulfate to add lather which is listed in the encyclopedia as a skin IRRITANT. I know, I couldn’t believe it either, but look it up! This chemical is found in 98% of ALL STORE bought soaps. SCARY, HU? READ THE BACK! (Even the ones claiming to be natural or clean). BUT the soaps at SANDY CREEK SOAP COMPANY are organic, natural AND eco friendly.
Really, if you are having ANY type of skin problems I urge you to try it! I tell everyone I know about them. They are awesome and VERY helpful with questions.... www.SANDYCREEKSOAP.etsy.com ..... And best of all they are CHEAP! Hope this helped....

I use Forever New, but it's not easy to find. Woolite is fine too. Remember cold water! And dry on delicate heat, and remove to finish by air drying.
