how can you keep wine color towels from bleeding each time you wash.? I thought they would not bleed after the first wash, but us no so.

    Try adding 1/2 cup of vinegar to the rinse. If that doesn't work, then use 1/2c of kosher salt.

    Put vinegar and salt in the washer, I usually use a cup of vinegar and about 1/4 cup salt.

    Hello Sherry; I had this issue, one time.

    I added plain salt to my washing machine, and water.

    I used warm water, to dissolve about a cup of salt.

    I then added the towels and let them soak for several hours.

    I hope that this works for you!!! Take Care!

    Wash nothing with them the next time, but include any matching washcloths and hand towels. Wash with a double rinse of vinegar, salt and water. After they are dry, rub a damp white washcloth against the towel. If the color is still fading, it will be like the "bleeding madras" shorts and skirts we wore in the mid 60s, I think. Wash and wear until there is no more dye to fade. Best wishes 😇

  • I once bought a bright red velour big shirt; the sales lady told me to wash it alone with a 1/2 cup of white vinegar and a tiny bit of soap. the color lasted 10 years before the elbows on the shirt finally wore out.!

    You add the vinegar into the wash with the red towels not just the v inegar
