I love it but it ruins every white shirt I wear with it. The collar of the shirt comes out yellow after wash. Any ideas? (besides don't wear white)

Sorry...I wear scoop neck shirts & don't seem to have that problem but I use oxyclean & spray & wash on any stains I have & it works great with any detergent I have used. Good luck!

I washed it and it did very well, however, the pillow cases change color. The material inside the pillow case case the outer color to have a cream look. We followed directions on how to wash and dry it on the tags, but still they still come out cream. So it looks kinda odd, with a white duvet and a cream-ish color pillow case. But overall we never regret buying it, very comfy in the cold.

I have never been able to get the color out of clothes! Amazing, since it is temporary color! But, on the clothes I have stained with the dye, they are ruined!

I believe the small tag (which I cut off) says to spot clean it. I washed it on delicate with cold water with no major issues. The colors after awhile will fade if you wash it frequently and maybe the rings will lose a bit of shape as the stuffing might settle. Again, I have washed mine with no trouble.

i threw mine in the washer with my clothes in the gentle cycle and hung dry. It still looks the same afterwards.

It's not evenly heated. I sent my back. It ruined quite a few shirts. Hope this helps.

Did you try the 'Self Clean' - that might help with the white stuff. I'm not sure about the leaking, it shouldn't if it's new, but mine is relatively new and the spray is already not working correctly, so I am Very Dissapointed with Rowenta.

Wash it alone right away first! I bought blue, washed it cold, and first time the water looked like dyeing easter eggs. The second time, there was only a little color bleed. mike

I know, that smell is disgusting to me, too! I opened it up outside when I got it and I did not notice any nasty smell from it or on my clothes later. One or two reviews I read said that the clotheslines streatched out after using for awhile and they replaced it with line of their choice later. So if this is a bad problem for you you could replace it with the narrow nylon type rope. FYI, Some said they needed to knot the line a little tighter at some point after using for awhile.

Hi Sara, I re-sprayed my fabric after washing it, just to be on the safe side, two out of three times...my fabric is black with white print...I didn't notice any problems/lack of protection when I neglected to spray it, but that might be due to the main color being black. If in doubt, spray it again! ;)

You can wash the item after you make it. I have a tee-shirt I did over a year ago that still looks good. It's faded a bit, but hey-it is tie dye.

i just washed it, and dried it low. but, when i took it out of the dryer, it looked as though a part or the blanket had folded over in the dryer, and the black print bleed over to a white part. so, maybe do not dry it in the dryer. wish i would have known before. good luck.

I rinse mine with super hot water, drain and that's it. I don't take the collar off very often, maybe just to remove water deposit...wash the whole thing with soap once in a while. I've broken so many of them that if I ruin or break a collar, I'll just replace it...I save them.

Hi Beth, no do not wash this !!! have no idea what is in side !! best thing i can recommend is to stray/wash with as little water as possible . what did you spill on it ? coffee LOL.. think of it this way. it goes into the MICRO so 'almost self sterilizing' ; &gt; }

I haven't had any problems with colors bleeding or lighter parts looking off yet! If it's a new article of clothing with those features, I'd check to see if it needs a 2nd rinse if the dye is really saturated in the dark fabric.
