Do the same trick when you are dyeing your clothes. Wash your colored clothes in cold water cycle. This will immediately help set the colors. When it is already in the rinse cycle, add a cup of vinegar. New colored clothes tend to run when you first wash them so you might want to do this trick not in your washing machine but in a basin.
