I don't stand there and mix for 20 minutes, but I come back every few minutes and mix some more. When finished, rinse in cold water and see if there is any more bleeding.

Others have stated on the forum that although vinegar was used to "set" dyes years ago, it is ineffective with the modern dying methods.

Best wishes!
