It was 2000-something and Derek taught me to wash all my colors in warm water, separately. This is why.

This is informative *and* entertaining. So many thoughts!
1. That is an impressive amount of Mego Trek dolls.
2. Are there a lot of modern Mego clothes in there, or are those vintage? It doesn't look like it judging from a quick scan of the naked figures. I am shocked how much dye is leaching out.
3. Is it just me, or does anyone else miss the little "modesty underoos"? I know it probably costs more to do multiple colors and nobody can see them... but still... it really struck me looking at that picture.
4. I must take points off for not calling this post "The Naked Time".Comment

Almost all vintage - there's just a couple of modern figs. There's a bag of modern clothes top right and a bag of modern heads. Most of my modern body dupes went towards my Mr Leslie party.
And DAMN! why din't I think of The Naked Time.Comment

That's pretty neat. You could almost Easter egg color with all that left over Trek dyeYou are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

[QUOTE=TrekStar;1433950]What kind of soap did you use? how long do they sit, and how did you dry them?
did you air dry? or did you throw them all in a regular clothes dryer?[/QUOTE
I let the dirty stuff like this sit overnight. The soap is just regular dye-free liquid laundry detergent. I dab them dry with an old towel and let them air dry.
For stuff that's really bad I pour the detergent on the piece and brush it in with a soft toothbrush, let sit a couple days, and then do normal process.
For stains, there a lot of different things to try. Trek shirts are often beyond repair due to both the pants and the weapons belts bleeding into and/or reacting with the fabric.Comment
