How can I stop dark clothes from fading when I wash them?
You may be able to extend the look of the blacks and brightly coloured garments by following these instructions:



1. Use a laundry detergent that is made to minimize fading of dark colours. If only mildly dirty, wash in small washer load, or wash separately on delicate, or hand wash.



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



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



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



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