- 1). Separate wash into lights and darks. Put one of the loads into the washing machine.
- 2). Place a white wash cloth into the machine with the clothes. Excess dye usually ends up on the cloth before any other fabrics.
- 3). Start the rinse cycle. Pour in 1/2 cup of vinegar into the water as it runs. The vinegar prevents dye from running. It also has a softening effect so no fabric softener liquid or sheets are necessary.
- 4). Finish washing the laundry and dry it normally. Repeat the process with all other loads until you finish.
