How to prevent the color on clothes from running off when you wash?

[clicknext]

Some new clothes I buy appears to have a lot of coloring on it, and it runs when you put it in the wash, dyeing everything else.

Any way to stop this other than washing seperately?

Wash them by themselves a few times. They should stop after that.

That's what a currently do, but it's a pain, and sometimes the bad ones start again after a little while. They are tricky...

you want to put all your colored clothes together on warm wash with a half a cup of detergent (medium load). medium dry.

What brand are they? I don't think I've ever had clothes that bled, and certainly not after a few washes. I'd take them back if it doesn't stop.

I can throw every piece of clothing I own in and just use cold water... I have never had anything run.
