SSPDaily has prepared life hacks on how to preserve the color of clothes. Find out how to prevent fading during washing.
White vinegar
Before washing, you can soak your clothes in a solution of water and white vinegar. This helps to fix the dye and prevents fading. You need to prepare a mixture of one part white vinegar and four parts water, and then soak the clothes for about 30 minutes. After that, you can wash the clothes as usual to maintain the bright colors.
Turning clothes inside out
This simple step minimizes friction on the outer layer of the fabric, which can lead to fading. In addition, washing on the wrong side of the fabric removes any sweat or dirt that may contribute to fading.
Cold water and detergent
Hot water can leach dye from the fabric. Using a detergent formulated for delicate fabrics will help maintain color and prevent fading. For optimal results, always follow the directions on the tag.
