Sally Mack<p>How to fix dyes in new clothing? Help needed.</p><p>I recently purchased clothing in both bright, mixed colors and rich solid colors made in Nepal at an import shop in Berkeley. The cloth is thin, but not sheer, 100% cotton. No clue as to dyes used.</p><p>The woman at the shop suggested using 30% vinegar to set the colors, she said it works but gave no further details. 30% vinegar easier to find than anticipated, bought some at a hardware store.</p><p>Advice I read is all over the place. Vinegar?Salt? Cold water? How much dilution of 30% vinegar?</p><p>Thanks for any advice!</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/dye" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dye</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/cloth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cloth</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/clothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>clothing</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/color" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>color</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wash" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wash</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/cotton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cotton</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/shirt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shirt</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/pants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pants</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Nepal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nepal</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NepalCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NepalCulture</span></a></p>
