Use 2 Tbsp. turpentine and 1 small handful of salt. Pour boiling water over this mixture. Put garment or cloth in and saturate. Let it soak until the water gets cold.

I'm afraid of the turpentine staining the fabrics. I think I have heard of salt used in holding color. Any comments on the turpentine? Thanks!
This is VERY successful. I used it on Tomato Red Polo shirt which bled EVERY TIME.. even a drop of water made it bleed.
This is the first time I have read this question regarding Turpentine. Will give it a try. Thanks. Will let you know if it truly does work. "Abby Normal", Laundry Queen! lol
This sounds like a plan but how do you get rid of the smell of turps once your done???
Turpentine smells. It stinks up the whole house or garage.
My dress is burgundy ...bled all over fabric sitting next to it. It wasn't wet but
Left pink stain. I like the dress but don't want it to
I've got a flannel sheet w/ print on it I want to keep vivid.but it's also too big so I was gonna try to shrink it before I alter it. Wondering if the hot water would fade the beautiful print Insight, anyone? Please?
