Five tips to keep black laundry from fading
Turn the black clothing inside
out before putting it in the washing machine.
Any detergent residues will stick to the inside of the laundry and not to the outside.
You also protect prints that are shown on the front.
Avoid putting too much laundry in the washing machine.
Too much clothing in the drum can cause the laundry to rub against each other.
This will attack the material.
Do
not
hang
black laundry in the blazing sun
.
The sun's rays ensure that the clothing is stripped of its color and faded.
Separate white, colored and black laundry.
This will prevent the other items of clothing from absorbing the color and thus prevent a gray cast.
Every now and then black laundry can be re-
colored with special dyes
.
However, it should be noted in this step that the clothes could discolour during the next wash cycles.
It is therefore imperative that you do not wash these items of clothing with other colors.
