I am afraid you have that backwards. ?....wash the fabric first with retayne to set the dye....then always wash in warm/cold water ....the use of either color catchers or synthrapol is unnecessary if fabric is treated with retayne....I always pretreat solids (the ones most likely to bleed) with retayne and then never worry about bleeding problems
