    I'd recommend that you let them soak over night. Fill the washer with the hottest water possible with Synthrapol. Agitate the fabrics a bit and then leave them to soak overnight. If your tap water isn't really hot, add some boiling water.

      Lorchen, I just used synthrapol on my quilt with the deep red border in my front loading automatic machine at 40º and it came out perfect. I used about 50mls along with 2 colour catchers just in case. It worked a treat. Rita.

          After I posted, I went and checked and the last wash last night appeared to have done the trick. The color catcher was white, no color transferred when I ironed them also.

              Cool, that's a good new. And I would like to share a Launderometer, which may help your washing, too.
