Do you remember the clips from ‘Friends’ that Rachel puts all the clothes together into the washer but finds all the white clothes become pink after laundry?

It is interesting and memorable.

It is the problem of washing colorfastness.

If you put a garment with poor washing colorfastness performance with other light color clothes into washer together, you will face with the same problem.

by comparing specimen and adjacent with

grey scale.

Put clothes and detergent in the washer.
