and seneca HAVE u ever done it before without bleach the chemicals in bleach make color dyes bleed- so when u wash a red shirt with a white shirt and use bleach the red dye will bleed out onto the white shirt and be a light shade of pink --- WITHOUT BLEACH it doesn't bleed
As matter of fact, I can't use bleach, me and my daughter will break out horribly from Clorox. I can barely stand the smell of it in cleaning products. And yes, I had one of my kids new red shirts get into the whites one time, with NO bleach and it turned the whole load pinkish, except for the socks and stuf that were right next to it, those were VERY pink. I think I may stil have some of those socks around as a matter of fact
Some reds bleed, some do not, I was unfortunate enough to have one get in that did.
Ah, the great tragedies of laundry....
