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.
