Fairy. Also use mild washes and turn things inside out.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Answer 6

any detergent will work but use cold water.

Answer 7

I use woolite liquid for dark colours and woolite liquid for colours, wash everything inside out at a low temperature, it works too, my daughters work trousers are very temperamental (prone to fading) but the woolite for dark colours has been great on them.

Hope this helps its available from most supermarkets.

Answer 8

you can buy detergent specially for colours to wash them in
