Restoring the color of your favorite clothes is easier than you think. SSPDaily has prepared life hacks that will help you do it.
Why do clothes fade?
Frequent use of excessive amounts of laundry detergent can cause clothes to lose color over time. In addition, improper washing machine settings can also lead to stubborn stains because they are not removed properly.
Failure to separate colored and white items also leads to color transfer from one item to another. Additionally, washing colored clothes in hot water, especially for the first time, can cause color loss and possible staining of other items.
To rescue faded clothes in the wash, follow these steps
- Prepare a solution by heating the water to about 40-45 degrees Celsius and rubbing the laundry soap into it. Let it dissolve completely.
- Add a small amount of potato starch, vinegar, or citric acid to the soap solution.
- Mix the ingredients to the consistency of a thick paste.
- Apply the product to the faded areas of the garment and leave for 5-6 hours.
- Finally, wash the treated garment using a normal washing cycle suitable for the type of fabric.
