Black towels?

Question

my daughter bought some black towels. i have washed them a couple of times. she says when she dries herself the black dye is going on her skin. any idea what i can do to stop this. should i soak them or wash them at a hotter temp.? any suggestions at all welcome thanks to all

Answer 1

i had this same problem with some navy blue towels i bought. after i had washed them about 5 times the colour stopped runnng out of them

Answer 2

Soak them in salted water overnight that will take the excess dye out of them.  Then wash as normal.

Answer 3

Just keep washing them and tumble drying if you can.  It will stop.  I had the same problem with some dark brown towels.
