I will empty and refill the water. Rinse well, then I toss it into the washer for a good spin.... into the dryer it goes and again on hot...... iron as necessary.
I do the same but if it is bleeding I add salt and vinegar as well and let the water cool to almost cold then rinse. If it still bleeds I repeat the process and rinse well until no color is left in the water.
