Vinegar has been around a long time but the dyes used today have not and vinegar will NOT set them. vinegar will only set natural plant based dyes. Not chemical. For chemical dyes you need chemical fixatives. Your grandmothers methods of using salt and or vinegar will have no effect on modern commercial dyes.
