Hmm ok sounds like I was very unlucky with my choice then. This is a lesson to me to do more product research before buying.
Also, if you have doubts, you can wash items BEFORE use with salt in the water instead of soap powder/detergent. This will fix the colour - even for very cheap dyed items. Dosage is 1 cup of pure cooking salt (not iodised) per 10 litres of water in the machine. Rinse with clean water as normal. This also cleans your machine quite well.
Interesting, thank you might give it a crack next time.
Go for koo.
They seem to be quite cheap price wise, and they have remained colour fast? I'll admit I'm surprised.
Have a bunch of vivid colours coming up on 10-15 years old now, very colour fast
Ok wow that is a very good innings!
