I've never had a fabric bleed after treating it.
What is the name of this product?
Just curious, as I will try Dawn first, since I always have it on hand. As a matter of fact, I am using Dawn on one of my sweatshirts, as we speak, trying to get some grease spots off. I didn't realize that I had any stains and washed and dried it. Darn! Some website said to try that and let it set for a few hours and then wash it again. We'll see how well it works.
