Yes I have found it works great, I missed a bright red fabric, used it on a doggy bed and the first time the wee pup had a drink it ran like hell, so I put it in my machine on a cold rinse with a handful of salt, it got most of the bleeding out but also "set" the colours and helps stop fading.
It is an old old tip that I got from my Granny but if you google it you will find a lot of references to it to stop fading of bright colours, sorry should have posted the tip earlier but in my ignorance I thought you all knew.
