eta: I don't think bleeding is limited to "good quality" fabrics. I have a red P & B Textiles, Alex Anderson print that bled a lot until I fixed it with the hot water & Dawn method.
I have never heard of this method. I use Dawn for dishes to toilets and many things in between but have never used it for fabrics that bleed. I will have to try this on these types of fabrics sooner than later.
