I've read where adding a cup of vinegar to wash and to rinse wateR. I haven't tried yet, I keep forgetting
Add a little vinegar to your wash water to set the color.
Wow, vinegar is almost the perfect ingredient.
Wash in cold water and add white vinegar to the rinse cycle.
Check the label for laundry instructions. Most items (except silk) can be washed in the gentle cycle with like items. I'd add 2 tbs of vinegar to the rinse cycle with a little fabric softener. Best of luck.
Hello Rjquigley; I would try washing it in salt. I would use one cup of salt. I would add to a small load in the washing machine.
