HOW TO WASH DARK CLOTHING WITHOUT FADING

• Dicas de como manter suas roupas escuras

It's hard to see a piece we like to fade with each wash. Of course time will inevitably make your favorite piece fade, however we have some super cool tips that will make your pieces stay dark longer.

Is it really necessary to wash

Think and rethink if your clothes really need to be washed, because every time you wash your clothes, it goes through a process of unnecessary wear and tear with products and drying. If really necessary, then get to work.

Read the label first of all

Before washing any new parts, check the label. Don't make the mistake of cutting the label off just because it's itchy and failing to check the important washing instructions on it. This will help keep your clothes in the best possible shape. Check your dark jeans for any special description that needs to be done before washing.

Sort the clothes, no laziness!

Esse é um passo muito importante para ser feito no ato da lavagem. Tenha certeza que você tem tempo necessário para separar suas roupas com cuidado e não jogá-las de qualquer jeito dentro da máquina de lavar. Seja lógico! Separe as roupas escuras das roupas claras, assim você evita que as roupas claras fiquem acinzentadas e as roupas escuras fiquem com uma camada de penugem.

wash your clothes inside out

This step doesn't take a lot of time and makes a big difference in preserving the quality and color of the pieces. The washing movement causes friction in the fabrics and breaks the fibers of the clothes. This will also help prevent the front of the garment coming into direct contact with the detergent and avoid the risk of getting caught in buttons or zippers.

Prefer proper detergents for dark clothes

If you don't have a detergent formulated for dark colors, use the least amount of regular detergent needed to clean your clothes. One to two teaspoons is all you need for a full-sized load. Excessive amounts of detergent can cause the ink to “bleed” and leave residues on fabrics that make them opaque. Using liquid detergent instead of a powder detergent will prevent undissolved particles from sticking to dark clothes, leaving the finish dull.

Always wash in cold water!

This is a super important step: the water temperature! Wash your dark clothes in cold water. By doing this, it helps the fibers break down and retain their color. Warm, warm water breaks down the fibers of clothing, often causing shrinkage. Cold water saves energy and is also ecológica! Preserve usando água fria em seu próximo ciclo de lavagem.

Short cycles

Make your wash cycles shorter. Less wash time means less fading. Longer cycles mean more thorough cleaning, causing more wear on the fabric.

Dry the shade - avoid the sun

While drying clothes on the clothesline saves money and is good for the planet, drying dark clothes in direct sunlight can fade them. Use an indoor clothesline away from direct sunlight, preferably in a well-ventilated place or, as a last resort, use a clothes dryer.
