Why colour of chain-store clothes can "run"?

Ibram Gaunt SG

Has anyone ever experienced the colour "running" after a (one or two) wash for clothes bought from G2000, U2, Bossini, Hang Ten and Giordano...especially their beige, brown and green...seems to have a tendency to fade to a shade of orange/yellow????

I dun know if it is my detergent that is problematic or becos the dye-job for these clothes are bad.....any ideas?

to prevent color run, add salt to the water when washing

I used to washed my clothes with washing powder, and now switched to detergent, but the colours (usually beige, brown and green) of the chain-store clothes still 'run'....so now I only buy "safer colours" such as white and black (which makes my wardrobe kinda boring).

Anyway, I posed this question just to see if anyone else has te same experience as me.... and whether there is a possible solution (I think the best solution is to stop buying from these stores...hmmm....). It's quite frustrating actually to buy something that looks nice to wear, only to have the colour screwing up in the end....
