My Tees are FADED JUST BOUGHT THEM NOT TO LONG AGO!

Question

My tees are faded, its a navy blue, black and magenta . They have some spots that are light and then some bright. I've washed them and let them sit in the washer to soak with oxyclean. But nothing! Help! I just got them like 3 months ago.

Answer 1

Water is too hot that you are washing them in. Of course use Woolite. Been around since the 60's and works!! Also the quality of the garment is a factor too.

P.S. y did u use OXYCLEAN?? It's supposed to get out tough stains. Sounds like you need to return to laundry 101.

Answer 2

in repsonse to the person above me, i use cold water and I still get major fading...

Answer 3

You may be able to extend the look of the blacks and brightly colored garments by the following

Use Woolite® Dark Laundry fabric wash, which is made to minimize fading of dark colors.

If only mildly dirty, wash in small washer load, or wash separately on delicate, or hand wash.

Turn the garments inside out to wash. This reduces the amount of abrasion the clothes experience during washing.

Use mild detergent and avoid using too much detergent. Harsh detergents are hard on dyes.

Do not leave in the dryer too long. Take out when still slightly damp. The heat in the dryer ages fabrics.

Dyes are also affected by sunlight, and from abrasive wear.
