I just bought nice, high thread count, sateen, red wine colored sheetsMy friend warned me that they may bleed onto me, mattress pad and/or fade in the washHow do I stop this? Do I use salt or vinegar? Or both? And will it keep them from fading? Help! I am starting to see red and its not the sheets!
Vinegar is not the answer! Many people who know nothing about this subject recommend 'setting' dye in cotton clothing with vinegarIn fact, vinegar can do nothing useful for cotton dyesVinegar will help set some acid dyes, but only if applied while it is gradually heated to a simmer (generally in the presence of salt), solely in cases in which this necessary part of acid dyeing was omitted; acid dyes are used on silk, wool, or nylon, but never cottonSalt won't do it, either Salt can be useful in dyeing, by encouraging the fiber not to repel the dye, or by making the dye less soluble, but it will not itself fix the dye to the fiberWashing your garment with salt won't hurt it, but it also will not helpThe extra washing will help to remove the dye only because it's another run through the washer, which can help to remove excess dyeWashing Out Excess Dye In some cases, the clothing may be dyed correctly, and also have excess dye in itThis is true of fabrics dyed with fiber reactive dye that have not been washed adequatelyIn such cases, the simplest solution is to simply go ahead and wash - repeatedlyThe test for whether all excess dye has been removed is simple: dampen the dyed item and iron it dry, while pressing it against a bit of white fabricIf the undyed fabric stays white, the dyed fabric (or yarn) can be trustedNormally, the most popular fiber reactive dye, Procion MX type dye, requires at least one washing in cold water (without detergent, unless it's Synthrapol), followed by at least two washings in hot water, WITH detergent, to remove the last bits of unattached dyeHot water is much more efficient than warm water at removing the last bits of unattached dye.
