The fabric, itself, had no apparent bleeding areas on it and the other clothes didn't either, but there was green in spots on the white towel. Question: if you have a fabric bleed when you wash it, should you wash it again? Also, is there something you can put in the water to help set the colors? I think I read on here somewhere that vinegar (or was it salt) in the water for a soak first helps. Thanks in advance for your advice. 8-)
