Guide: What colours can be washed together?

Keep your loads vibrant by finding out what colours you can wash with whites. Separating your whites and colours is the best way to keep them bright. Out of all the loads, it’s more common that your white clothes will go dull due to colour transfer, which is why it’s important to wash them separately. So, what colours can be washed with whites? You can safely wash whites with lighter colours, including cream, light-grey and pastel colours, as well as white clothing with prints.

For best results, use Vanish Oxi Action Crystal White powder in each wash. It’s gentle enough to use on everyday fabrics, like cotton and polyester and helps your whites live longer.

When thinking about how to prevent colour run accidents, it’s important to separate your clothes into three different categories:

1. Lights: including white, light grey and pastel colours.
2. Darks: including black, deep blue and brown.
3. Brights: including red, orange and more vibrant colours.

Not only does this prevent colour run accidents, it also helps to maintain the vibrancy of colour clothing.

To prevent colour run accidents and transfer, it’s important that you separate colours for each wash. Here are some rules to follow in order to keep your colours bright and your whites dazzling:

• Don’t mix your white wash with colours. It’s important to separate colours and white loads in order to prevent colour transfer. It’s also important to separate light colours from dark colours, as it stops your dark colours from fading.
• When you wash your new clothes for the first time, you should separate them from your old ones. This avoids colour run from new clothes where the dye is still strong. If you have time, it’s usually a good idea to wash new clothes by hand.
• If your clothes have already suffered from colour stains, don’t tumble dry them! The heat from this drying method may solidify the stain, which makes it harder to remove.

For best results, always follow the labels attached to your clothes and garments. For best results, use Vanish Oxi Action Multi Power powder in each wash.

The short answer – yes. You need to separate your light and dark washes to preserve the colour and prevent colour run. Dark colours, particularly when they’re new, have a tendency to bleed dye and as a result, may transfer onto lighter clothing. By separating your clothes for washing, you can help to stop this from happening.
