How do I wash my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gi to keep the color from fading?

Question

I have read that if you wash the gi in vinegar it stops the color from fading, but do I have to soak it in a tub filled with vinegar or just add a cup in the washing machine.

The gi I have is a brand new blue Koral classic.

thanks/.
