laundry
by : --
Even with the use of a dye fixative such as Retayne, items dyed with all-purpose or direct dye should never be washed carelessly in hot water, as fiber reactive dyes can be. A t-shirt dyed with Procion MX type dye can be safely washed in hot water with a load of white clothing, once it’s had the initial few washings to remove every trace of excess dye. If you make a habit of always using only fiber reactive dyes, you need never sort your laundry for color again! With direct dyes, you must sort carefully according to color, and wash only in cold water.
