Can I wash my colorful quilt cover without worrying about it losing its colors?

luminess asked:


I have the pink/multicolor version quilt cover from IKEA http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40107631

It’s very bright and colorful, and I’m worried that if I wash it, the colors will bleed out and become dull. Does anyone have any suggestions for washing my quilt cover without losing its vibrance?

      Definitely wash it in cold water, on a gentle cycle, and with a detergent specially made for preserving colors. Tide makes one called Blue and there are others as well. It should be fine if you take those precautions!
      Good luck!

      Zero has a special liquid detergent that keeps the colors from bleeding. It will keep fresh, no losing colors.
