Doesn't salt set it? Add salt in the wash.

I have always washed mine inside out but a trick I was taught was that providing it isn't 'dirty' if it's just smelly you can stick it in the freezer over night and this will kill the smell so it won't need washing! But if you HAVE to wash it then do it inside out.

White vinegar in the fabric dispenser helps to set the dye too, used to do that with DH's army fatigues- they'd turn everything pink.

well after much searching I have actually found a product for setting dye and then removing any left over - this isnt for my trusty pair of jeans, but a new business venture so I needed to find something that worked 100% - who wants to buy anything that bleeds!

its called retayne if anyone else was looking, and then wash with synthrapol



Thanks!! salt and vinegar do work too - to a degree - apaprently best when used together - but still take a few washes to completely clear the loose particles
