ollow this method to prevent colored clothes from fading in the washing machine
Over time, it sometimes happens that frequent washing, a bad washing method, overexposure to the sun or the abuse of detergents can make our colored clothes fade and lose their original beauty!
And let’s face it, faded clothes look vintage and sometimes become almost unusable!
For this reason, we are going to see together today how to prevent colored clothes from fading in the washing machine thanks to these homemade and natural tips! Let’s see them together!
white vinegar
The first tip is to use vinegar, known for its ability to make the colors of our clothes bright and vibrant. All you have to do is add a glass of vinegar to the last rinse and that’s it: the colors of your clothes will be revived!
If, then, you also want to perfume your laundry and make it soft, you can then use vinegar instead of the fabric softeners usually found on the market.
All you need to do is put a cup of vinegar in the washing machine tub instead of the fabric softener, add, if you prefer, 5 or 6 drops of essential oil to your liking so as not to abandon the scent of your clothes and voila: your laundry will be revived, perfumed and soft like never before!
Remember, however, to wash in cold water, or at least at temperatures that are not too high, because hot water causes the color to disperse. As if that were not enough, vinegar not only revives the color of dark clothes, but also that of white clothes, because it restores their original whiteness without resorting to bleach!
NB We recommend that you always use white wine vinegar, because other types of vinegar could stain your clothes.
There has been a long-standing debate about the environmental impact of using vinegar in washing machines. For this, it is preferable to use alternative methods. However, this product is less polluting than those available commercially.
Pepper
Another very effective remedy to revive the color of your clothes and prevent them from fading is to use pepper, whose slightly abrasive action is able to eliminate detergent and soap residues, responsible for discoloration.
