Which of these detergents should i wash my dark jeans with? and how do i keep them from fading?

Question

i don't want my new dark jeans to fade, and i already know about the whole washing them inside out thing. so i'm gonna do that.

but should i wash them with Clorox Chlorine Free Bleach for Colors? it says it brightens color, and believe me it really works.

or should i wash them with with just regular Wisk detergent?

these are just the two detergents i keep in my house, and i don't feel like going out...i need my rest to go out tonight.

and are there any other things to do to keep jeans from fading?

Answer 1

Don't wash your jeans every time you wear them.  Unless I spill something on them, sit in something, or otherwise get them visibly dirty, I only wash my jeans every 6 weeks or so for the ones I wear a couple times a week.  I used to wash my jeans much more often, but my sister in law, who's a fashion buyer/stylist, taught me not to.

Washing them inside out and hang drying them will also help keep them dark and help them keep their shape and fit.

Answer 2

I wash mine in cold water with Tide detergent, and hang to dry instead of putting in the dryer. I read somewhere that the dryer fades clothing more than the washer.

Answer 3

use the Clorox and wash in cold water

Answer 4

wash them with the wisk in cold water. I would stay away from anything that says clorox bleach

Answer 5

Just wash your dark jeans in your favorite laundry detergent in cold

water to prevent them from fading.
