Setting Colors in Clothing So They Don't Bleed

My daughters were cheerleaders for 12 years and here is what we did to protect their clothing:

Fill washing machine 1/2 full with COLD water, and add 1 Quart of clear vinegar. Agitate for about 30 seconds, then add clothing and agitate for about 2 minutes (long enough to thoroughly mix all together). Turn off 'Timer' and let set for 10 minutes. Repeat on/off method for about 5 times. Set timer to 'ON' and let it run it's full cycle.

Colors should be set and not bleed. (if vinegar isn't available, use 1 cup of table salt. This works just as well)
