I think only christmas red and navy blue may bleed.

i was taught to wash my finished work in lukewarm water, to not squeeze it just gently moving it around
but i used dmc for baby bibs and they washed well till 60 celsius,
no loss of colors and the stains were removed,
would not dare it with a larger piece

I only use DMC thread and I have not had a problem when washing my finished work :)

How do you wash them? do you just soak them in warm soapy water?

Ive never had a problem with brand name thread bleeding (dmc/anchor) only cheaper thread or overdyed where the dye hasnt been set properly. But I only ever handwash anything stitched.
