You want the colors on your clothes to be as vibrant as you are, but after a while loss of color can really change the way you see your clothes, eventually ruining them and nobody wants that.
Color Loss Prevention Tips
- Cold Water: Separate your colored clothing from the white clothing, because white clothing washes better in hot water. It’s the opposite for colored clothing. Hot water can lead to clothes losing their pigment, so it’s important to use cold water when cleaning vibrant colored clothing. To get the best results, consider a specialist to clean your clothing and dry your clothing.
- Turn Inside Out: Colored clothing keeps its initial color for longer amounts of time if you wash them inside out. This prevents clothing from rubbing against each other and losing their quality, especially in the long run.
- Color Protection Shield: Is your detergent overbearing or is it protecting your clothes? Purchase detergent that will act as a color protection shield.
- Add Salt: Add a tablespoon of salt to your washing machine. By adding salt, you are helping the colors in your clothes set and stay even.
- Less Is More: The fewer times you wash your clothes, the more the color will stay. Did you just wear your new red shirt for a couple of hours? Make sure there are no spots or perspiration marks, if that is the case, then fold it up and put that shirt away, it definitely can be used again without a wash.
- Minimize Dyer Time: Too much time in the dryer can lead to fading. Consider drying your clothes on an indoor or outdoor clothesline.
