dye bleed in microfiber towel

[webstrive]

Hi,



I just washed a set of microfiber towels (most new, just washed to be safe) along with a few lightly soiled older towels.



The older towels seemed to release a bit of yellow dye onto the new towels!!



Should I be concerned about this? I hope this doesn't affect performance and/or rub off onto my vehicle.

I don't have yellow towels any more. Blue ink always bleeds from the blue towels and turn the yellows into a greenish neon yellow and the white ones into light green. I wash them on 60°C with Woolite.



Not nice but doesn't affect their performance.

I had washed some white mf towels and accidentally had a red shop rag in the load...



They are now a loverly shade of pink!

I have some green towels that I washed with some others and the green ones bleed all over the others so now a lot of my towels have a green tint to them

I have come bright pink ones that left my white monter fluffy MF towel with a very light shade of pink.
