I was glad that it didn't include white areas in the pattern. Do you think soaking in vinegar water will help? I'll be careful to wash it alone and not too often. I have a Karen Kane top of the same nylon mesh fabric that doesn't do this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sweat-pea-blouses-cleaning#post-20293 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 23:47:14 +0000 shiny 20293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just curious if anyone else notices that when you hand-wash Sweat pea blouses, the dye runs? </p> <p>My blue one is okay; the red one is horrible. This is the second time I've washed it and still the water turns bright red. </p> <p>I also realized I have another Sweat Pea blouse.... it's black... I bought it long ago at TJMaxx and only just noticed the tag.... well, I hand-washed it yesterday and thank goodness it was in a batch with only black items because it turned the water completely black!!!</p> <p>Anyway - take that as a warning. On the plus side, they are so easy to hand-wash and dry ultra quickly. Just make sure you don't throw them in with anything else!!!</p> <p>On the negative side, for as much as these darn shirts can cost, they really SHOULDN'T run like that. </p> <p>(But I still love them anyway)</p> <p>P.s. My favorite floral Ann Taylor Loft blouse, which I usually Dry-El, but decided to hand-wash for a more thorough cleaning, also ran a little ... sigh.... and it is even marked machine washable!!!! </p>
