However, from my own fabric science background of years ago, red dyes are not more prone to bleeding than similar dyes of other colors. The problem is that red-dyed fabrics and garments are often dyed by direct dye. Direct dye tends to bleed unless the fabric is treated with a cationic dye fixative of the right kind. Fabrics that are dyed by fiber reactive dyes are much more stable. So I suspect that the answer to your question lies somewhere in between the dyeing and fixative process being employed by the manufacturer.
Rachel offered some recommendations to prevent bleeding after construction: 1 prewash the fabric multiple times until the water is clear, 2 pre-soak in a bathtub with Dawn detergent changing the water frequently until clear, 3 use a color catcher the shop has had success with Color Catcher by Shout. If at anytime I learn more about what manufacturers are doing, I will reply to you directly.
I was just encouraged to use apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar to lock in color or free vigorate faded colors. I googled this and read that 20 or 30 minutes would suffice.
I thought to play it safe and soak a piece of garment overnight. The faded pair of twill shorts seemed to be reinvigorate. But certainly not to the point of a newly purchased product. Then I was thinking about the time that I spilled olive oil on my shirt once at a Italian restaurant and how the shirt still mocks me everytime I attempt to wear it.
I am confused with your last sentence—is this a question you wish me to answer? If so, please message again. Usually we are trying to get red wine out of clothes. This time I want to make sure the red wine stains stay on the t-shirt. Any advice to set those wine stains? Hi Terrie, what fun!
Also since the staining is similar to tie-dying, better retention will be achieved if it is an older t-shirt that has been washed often. If it was new, then soaking in vinegar water prior to staining helps get the stain into the fibers better.
It is hard to know how much of the stain you will be able to retain but the best chance is to heat set it with an iron. After heat setting, it might also be wise to rinse it in salt water. Let your T-shirt soak for minutes. Hi Kris, soaking your quilt in a vinegar and salt solution will help with color retention. When cotton yarn or fabrics are dyed, salt is added to the dye bath as a mordant to help the fibers absorb the dye but salt is not a dye fixative for already dyed fabric or fibers.
There are two commercial dye fixatives that can be purchased for home use—Retayne and Rit Dye Fixative. If you choose to use either, follow directions carefully.

Some brands of acid dyes are formulated so that the acid has already been mixed with the dye when you purchase it.
Some of these "complete" brands of dyes, with auxiliaries already mixed in, include Landscape Dyes of Australia, Country Classics, Gaywool, and OneShot dyes. How much vinegar to use with acid dyes Typical recipes for using vinegar with acid dyes, on silk, nylon, and on wool and other animal fibers, call for different amounts of vinegar depending on the class of acid dye being used.
It is always best to find a reputable recipe for the dye, fiber content, and method you're using, and follow it closely. Acid Levelling dyes are also known as Strong Acid dyes, because they require a lower pH, that is, more acid, than other types of acid dyes. Cushing Perfection acid dyes are also strong acid dyes; the W. Cushing company recommends the use of one cup of vinegar per pound of fiber. Although Procion MX dyes are fiber reactive dyes when used with a high-pH chemical, such as soda ash, when vinegar or another acid is substituted for the soda ash, they work as acid dyes , on protein fibers such as silk and wool.
The amount of acid called for is similar to that required for the leveling acid dyes, much greater than that needed for other classes of acid dyes. In Dharma Trading Company's recipe for tie-dyeing silk in a microwave , using Procion MX dyes, the recommendation is to use undiluted white vinegar as a presoak for the fabric.
Other acid dyes do not require as much acidity. Milling dyes Acid milling dyes include most of the WashFast acid dyes sold by ProChem and other dye retailers, and some of the Jacquard Acid dyes, as well as the milling dyes sold among the Dharma acid dyes. ProChem has an excellent collection of recipes for various uses of their washfast acid dyes, calling for eleven tablespoons of distilled white vinegar for one pound of wool or nylon in two and a half gallons of water that's ml of vinegar for grams of fiber in 10 liters of water.
Their presoak for rainbow dyeing with WashFast Acid Dyes calls for one liter of distilled white vinegar mixed with three liters of lukewarm water and a little Synthrapol. In addition to beign sold to hand dyers by Kraftkolour in Australia where the word is spelled "premetallised" and by Dharma Trading Company in the US they spell it "pre-metallized" , metal complex dyes make up half of the dyes used in the Lanaset range of home dyes, and also include the Jet Black dye color of the WashFast Acid Dyes.
Like the milling dyes, they are used at less acidic pHs than the strong acid dyes. ProChem's recipe for rainbow dyeing with Lanaset dyes calls for no auxilliaries other than citric acid or white vinegar, along with a bit of Synthrapol detergent, recommending one liter of white vinegar mixed with three liters of water as a presoak, just as in their recipe for rainbow dyeing with WashFast acid dyes.
However, solid-color immersion dyeing with Lanaset dyes is generally done with a more complex set of auxiliaries, to provide better leveling for a more perfectly smooth solid color.
ProChem's recipe calls for 11 Tbl ml white distilled vinegar, plus sodium acetate crystals, salt, and the special auxilary product Albegal SET, for one pound of fiber in a liter dyebath. Since all-purpose dyes , such as Rit All Purpose Dye or Tintex High Temp All Purpose Dye, contain an acid dye, it is a good idea to add vinegar to your dyebath when you are dyeing wool, silk, or nylon.
Do not use vinegar when dyeing cotton, as it won't help at all, though it won't really hurt, either. Various manufacturers' recommendations suggest ml per gallon, half a cup per three gallons, or one cup per washing machine load, though these all yield different concentrations of acid. Color transfer can still happen when using only cold water so it is best to keep colors and whites separated.
What does vinegar do when dyeing fabric? For wool or nylon, the acid in vinegar acts as a mordant in the dye bath to help the fibers absorb dye. But neither is a dye fixative for already dyed fabric or fibers. There are commercial dye fixatives that can be purchased for home use. Why do you add salt when dyeing clothes? The addition of large quantities of salt reduces the electronegativity of both fiber and dye, making it easier for the dye to associate with the fiber so that it is located handy for the formation of a chemical bond.
In low water immersion dyeing, the purpose of salt is different. Can I use Epsom salt to dye clothes? The Answer: Fear not - there is a solution, and it only takes two ingredients: vinegar and epsom salt! Utilizing a separated solution made from these ingredients, it's easy to color set your clothes and then wash them with your others.
