When did colors actually run in the laundry? * 3
    #24926767 -

Like for real.  I don't separate laundry, and I've never had a problem with colors running.

Jokes about people mixing up their colors/whites/darks exist though, so at some point it was the case that this was actually a mistake.  Question is, when was this? I've been doing my own laundry since the early aughts and never sorted and never had a problem, so I know this is a very old joke.  Anyone know the last time this actually was a problem?

My mother still separates her whites from colors.  Maybe dyes weren't so great when she was growing up and it just stuck with her.  Then again, they did believe a lot of old wives' tales back in the day -- this could be yet another example of that.

If you hand wash denim a shit ton of blue color seems like it comes out.

Maybe it's just overtime it makes whites look less white.

Depending on new cloth dyes the colors will still run. Like in jeans or red clothes. I remember not separating my clothes when I was a wee lass 20 years ago and they ran together. I was doing my own laundry by age 10. But now it's rarer... with the exception of certain new clothes. But still, I separate them when I do laundry from conditioning or when I use bleach for white socks/tshirts.

High efficiency washers and soaps and the ability to was in warm water instead of
hot changed that game

Just this week I turned a whole bunch of white socks and t-shirts pink, by putting a red blanket in the wash with my clothes.

Yeah, them new very dark blue jeans still tend to give off some color during the first wash. I don't bother though, I just toss everything in together. But I don't have anything white anyway, so what gives.

I turn colors I want to protect inside out. I think it has to do with pH balanced soaps as well. Back in the day soaps were probably more basic and had a chance to pull off colors.

I wear a lot of black so I try to wash all the black stuff together. But I usually have black gray and dark blue.

It definitely can happen with certain fabrics. The clothes I wear all seem to be immune pretty much.

With synthetics I think the color is essentially part of the plastic and probably isn't likely to leach out in large quantities. If you're washing white cotton stuff with cheaply dyed other cotton stuff (especially if the dyed stuff is new) you might have a problem.

I've seen it numerous times and it always involves red bleeding onto white. I think I've seen blue bleed but I don't have any definite memory of that. It seems like it has always been a rogue sock that got missed.

^ I bet if you washed that in bleach they would turn. Funny story my work had an American flag in a room that leaked and those colors ran down the white wall... was actually pretty funny. That flag was probably made in China though

My morale is already lowered and it’s American capitalism that leads my boss to buy flags from China, that’s gotta be the most American thing to do.

We should invade China and take all their American flags home as war trophies.
