Do you realize that sometimes that bleed you are finding, is only there until after the first wash?
Or that, most times, the most effort it takes is a Retayne treatment/soak, and all is stabilized?
Gosh, to just eliminate a fabric so quickly,
that seems to be a waste of time (shopping!) and money ..... Yes, JIMHO!
