Thank you! Virg
1. Do I use detergent?
I use detergent and have had no problems
2. I have half to full yards - many of them. Can I wash like colors together?
I wash like colors together

they have a product out called color catchers, that works very well
4. Do I put it on a full cycle or just rinse?
I use handwash or delicate cycle (cuts down on agitation)
Hope this helps
