Answer 2

Wash in a separate load of washing. Use a good quality detergent  such as a wool type one.

Rinse with vinegar to help hold the colour and hang to dry inside out out of the sun - the sun fades them

When you get a new garment soak with salt in the water in something small such as a bucket  to help set the dye. Always wash your new garment seperately at first to get rid of any excess dye that comes out

Answer 3

All garments start to fade over time and black clothing is no different.  Lucky for you there are many types of detergent made specifically to prevent fading some even specialize in black clothing.

Answer 4

Woolite for darks seems to keep mine from fading as fast. I wear alot of black, so I have tried several things. If it is something that was rather expensive, just go for the dry cleaner.

Answer 5

That's what happens with black clothing, unfortunately. There are special laundry detergents that help dark clothes keep their colors. Air-drying is also good. If something has faded and it's completely black, that's the easiest thing in the world to fix! Just get some black RIT dye and re-dye it black. Voila!

Answer 6

Using mild detergent , and turning the garment wrong side out and on gentle cycle does great!!!

Answer 7

add a cup of white vinegar to the wash to set in colors and stop bleeding and fading

Answer 8

it's just the dye coming out of the shirts!

All you have to do is wash with woolite!

hope i helped!
