I had the same problem with my first fleece, I added a small amount of bleach and it didn't stain at all. It got rid of the piggy stains and fur though.

I have both bright red and dark blue-and-black fleece, and regularly put bleach in the washer. I was looking at a scrap of the blue-black the other day, and the cage blanket hasn't faded at all, even with all the bleaching.

You are one brave or fortunate woman! :eek:hmy: My husband is an absolute tyrant with bleach and you can't imagine how many clothes he has ruined.

Oh, yes I can! My husband bleaches everything he can get his hands on, and he slops bleach all over the place when he's pouring it into the washer. I can't tell you how many of my shirts and shorts have white bleach spots on them where he's spilled bleach and they were in a dirty clothes basket under the washer.

A funny story... He does his own laundry -- I wouldn't touch his clothes with a ten foot pole because nobody can wash them to suit him. So he washes his underwear in the strongest detergent, in the hottest water, on the longest cycle, and dries them on --- you got it, delicate. He doesn't want to ruin them. Well, ok, then.

@spy9doc , you were safe anyway. I won't swap with anybody. Get rid of, yes, but not swap...
