I agree - I don't keep washing and washing either. I have 3 boys in this house and I just can't keep the washing machine tied up like that.

I do what hand-dyers do. I put the bleeding fabric in hot water and let it sit there overnight. No color catchers, no special detergents or treatments. I only have to do it once and it works every time. Never had a fabric bleed after soaking it.
