Give your clothes plenty of room to move around in the washing machine. Overloading can lead to excessive friction, which causes fading. Less is more when it comes to washing black clothes.
Dry Clothes in the Shade:
Direct sunlight can cause the fabric to lose color and weaken the fibers. After washing, hang black clothes in the shade to dry, or use the dryer on a low heat setting.
FAQ:
Can I use fabric softener on black clothes?
It’s best to avoid using fabric softener on black clothes, as it can leave a residue that dulls the color. If you must use it, opt for a gentle, color-safe version.
How often should I wash my black clothes?
Try to wash your black clothes only when necessary to prevent over-washing and fading. Spot clean stains when possible.
Does vinegar really help preserve color?
Yes! White vinegar helps break down soap residue, which can cause colors to look dull, and it softens fabrics naturally.
