I take mine, (all queen size) to the Laundromat and use the large double load front loaders. I add about 5 color catchers the first time and then use one less after that till I am down to one or there is no more bleeding. I use cold water and Ivory soap. Then I bring it home and hang it "back side out" and put a sheet over it so the birds don't poop on it. Usually only takes a few hours to dry. No need to iron it, it always comes out perfect.

As long as you remove it right away, it won't get rust spots. If it does, take Bar Keepers Friend and rub it in with a toothbrush. It will come right out. BKF can be found in the grocery store, right next to the Ajax.
