The bleeding of deeply colored textile apparel has been a major challenge, leading to fading and crocking of the textile apparel. This research investigates the combination of some dye auxiliaries as a potential anti-bleeding solution for laundering purposes. These are: sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium trioxocarbonate (iv) (Na₂CO₃) and Ascorbic Acid (C₆H₈O₆), Vinegar (CH₃COOH) and Calcuim Chloride (CaCl₂). Their bleeding regulatory activity were singly determined and their combined effect were analyzed on three bleeding textile samples (Ankara) having different patterns of shades. The UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to determine their respective absorbance at a predetermined wavelength. The values of their corresponding absorbance show that NaCl, Na₂CO₃ and C₆H₈O₆ exhibit more excellent resisting power on bleeding textile samples when combined in appropriate ratio of 1.25: 1: 1.65 (w/w) than when singly used. These combined chemicals were prepared and used as the anti-bleeding solution and its performance on a large scale multi-coloured laundered textile evaluated. The best dilution ratio was found to be (10:30 v/v) water to anti-bleeding solution per 2.8 g fabric for laundering and (5:35 v/v) for subsequent rinsing operations. The mean fastness ratings value to light, washing, rubbing, ironing and perspiration for the laundered three textile samples A, B, C were very good. It has over 60% for all the wet and dry agencies tested. 80-90% dyes in each of the textile samples were retained after laundering. This claim was further justified by the colour values of treated textile samples as compared with the untreated ones using a colour comparator. The physicochemical properties of the prepared solution evaluated for the period of eight weeks have a pH of 4.41-5.49, relative density value 1.02-1.08, temperature 29.30-28.07°C and chloride content 964.21-737.32 mg/L. It has an appreciable value of free CO₂ (1054.73mg/L), a conductivity value of 380.50 m/cm, a constant turbid value of 2.00, and acidity (1368.93 mg/L) and alkalinity (2424.05 mg/L).
