Is it vinegar that is used in the washer to keep colors from bleeding onto other fabrics?

Unfortunately, using vinegar or salt to 'set' fabric dye isn't always reliable. There are commercially available products, but the best method to prevent dye transfer is to use the correct laundering methods-cold water wash and rinse with similar colours or washing separately are the only truly reliable ways.

Plain table salt works too. I never measured it; just poured some in the washer and use the rinse cycle. When finished spinning, fill washer up (small load) again for rinse cycle.
Thanks for the website to check what to do to keep dyes from running in the washing machine. I will check it out.
