Can you wash red and green clothes together?

I have a red and green t-shirt, should I wash them together or separate?

They both say on the label 'wash with like colours'.

Thanks.

  1. Yes, certainly, but always use cold water. You might consider rinsing in white vinegar (adding 1 c. to the rinse water) which helps 'set' the colors.

    Also, for strong colors, it's often recommended to make the first wash with 1/4 c. of bleach (which I do not like to use), added to the wash water, which also sets the colors even on one garment. I have done that with clothing in Crayola colors, mixed on one garment, and it did work - the clothing designer suggested it to prevent future "running" but you can check with www.goodhousekeeping.com, too.

  2. Red dye often runs, it is rarely 'color fast'. Red can be safely washed with brown, black, navy, other reds. You could chance it with green, but if this is the first wash then wash the red with a white handkerchief or a white cotton sock to see if the colour is going to run.

  3. you said 1 T-shirt so wash it separate to avoid the colours from running add 1/2 cup white vinegar to the rinse this will prevent the colours from bleeding and seal them as well.
    Edit
    yes in cold water and use the vinegar for the rinse just the same.

  4. You can wash anything together, just put everything on cold.
