I started wearing this bright red shirt that was sent over from Australia. Very nice shirt. The problem was that it was so red, and was likely to run in the wash. I was advised to wash it, with detergent, in the handbasin first. Since I didn't want to screw things up (don't ask how, I'm sure I could've managed it), I figured I'd try washing a pair of dark blue jeans first.
The jeans are still running, after 3 hand washes and a rinse. My sink looks like I recently murdered a smurf. At least now I know why my socks and the tail of my rain jacket recently turned blue.
As for the shirt, yeah it ran; the sink temporarily looked like I was making tomato juice. But the jeans are amazing. They're still dripping blue.

We've all had disasters where something has run and the dye has gone into other clothes. In Australia they sell a product called Runaway for just that event. Pays to be safe with some colours.
Hi Harve,
the trick is not to wash in hot water.
Hope you are having fun.
