Bright Hot Pink. Volatile...that's a good word. Thanks @Darby67, I'll give it a few more washes.What color? Do you see washing it being a common occurrence?
@NorthernLight,
I knew better than to do that.I'm just trying to get it out now so that, I don't wake up with dye bleed on me.
Well okay...I'll trrrryyyy not to sweat. You might just be right about the salt and delayed release!Well, make sure you don't sweat in your sleep ...Adding salt might just delay the bleed rather than set the colour.
Thank You, @Anamya! I'm on the 6th with cold water. I really appreciate this info because, I don't want to damage it either. Well, maybe this info will help another person with the same issue of dye bleeding profusely.Rum, I have the exact same brand ... two washes (I used warm water), in the third it stopped leaking colour everywhere ... sleeping liner survived
I certainly wouldn't take it, if it keeps bleeding! Thanks though, the thought of tossing it back in the mail is a definite possibility.Throw it away ! Imagine what it will do to the contents of your pack if you were stuck in heavy rain...An Albergue owner might not be too happy with their sheets stained either...
In the pink, so to speak!Gorgeous colour!
Interesting. I only ever use liquid Woolite to hand wash my silk bag, squeeze and gently tumble dry - never had a problem with shrinkage or dye bleed, it's a deep blue colour and have never woken up like Britons of old: blue from head to toe. It's now 17 years old and still in good condition.
Unbranded from Vietnam. I've had it a long, long time.What brand is yours, @Jeff Crawley ?
I believe it WILL quickly kill them (unless they are a resistant) but only if you apply directly to the bedbug - i.e. douse them with the spray. It isn't certain whether (or when) they will die from being wrapped in permethrin-sprayed cloth. I expect it would depend on the concentration, etc.Now, I just learned that permethrin will not instantly kill bedbugs therefore, won't be spraying.
I would try hot water, in hope of accelerating the bleeding. But do it at your own risk!I'm on the 6th with cold water.
I have that liner, in the same vivid colour. I've had it for a few years and I don't think it bleeds any more. Although it bled in the first few washes, it never left stains on my sleeping bag or on me. I'm very happy with it - it's a good product and super-light.If you've dealt with this before, what did you do? My Treksilk 100% silk liner came in today and I'd read that it's good to cold wash it asap because, sometimes the color bleeds. Other's said to wash it in cold water with a cup of white vinegar and/or salt to prevent the dye from bleeding...HAH, I say! I'm running it through its 3rd cold water gentle wash cycle and it's still bleeding. Help, please.
