Keeping black clothes black

All of my black clothes fade SO quickly. What am I doing wrong? I'm pretty gentle on my clothes, and always wash them in cold water (usually with Cheer or Tide).

Does anyone have a secret to keeping them dark after multiple washings?

I never put them in the dryer. I always hang dry.

Woolite makes a detergent for dark laundry.
It seems to help too

I use"green wash ball" I bought on HSN for all of my dark clothes, they are detergent free and antibacterial. No fading at all when washed in cold water. I also line dry. Good luck...
