What to do if clothes are dyed?

If it so happens that you have acquired clothes that color not only your body and underwear, but also everything around you, then do not despair. Skillful housewives invented several effective ways, after which the thing will begin to shed much less, or even completely cease to leave hateful traces of the dye.

Tips for washing clothes that shed:

• Always wash such things separately from others, excess dye can dye fabrics, and your outfits will become worthless.
• When washing, add a few tablespoons of salt to the water - in some cases this will help fix the problem. However, do not soak the tissue in such water for more than half an hour.

Important! It is best to use this method for plain things.

• Give preference to hand washing - so you can carry out all the recommended manipulations. Moreover, molting clothes are not recommended to be washed with other things. Do not run the washing machine just for the sake of one thing. And the intensity of machine wash is much higher than manual. A poor-quality thing can completely lose its shade from such manipulations and seem to be washed and worn.
• After washing, rinse clothes in water with vinegar. To do this, first soak the item in warm water with the addition of powder for hand washing. After 15-20 minutes, wash it well by hand and rinse in slightly warm water. Rinse in warm water several times. When you see that the water is almost not stained, the excess dye is washed, pour water into a basin or bowl and add 5 tablespoons of vinegar. Immerse clothes in this container, leave for a couple of minutes, then rinse in the same water. Do not squeeze out the washed outfit excessively and allow to dry naturally. This procedure will help fix the color on the fabric, even slightly refresh it. After this procedure, you may not have to wonder why clothes fade.
• If your clothes made of wool molt, then there is a special secret. It is necessary to wash the thing in the usual way by hand, and then rinse in water with the addition of liquid glycerin. Mistresses are advised to add a couple of tablespoons of glycerin per liter of water. After thorough rinsing in such a solution, it is necessary to slightly squeeze out the thing, without twisting it, let it dry naturally, without using a heating radiator. An aqueous solution with glycerin fixes color well on woolen products.
• If you constantly fade jeans, then wash them exclusively by hand. A few washes will noticeably reduce this problem. To fix the color, use a rinse of jeans in water with the addition of vinegar. Keep in mind that the darker your jeans, the more likely they are to stain your legs and underwear. Classic blue jeans fade least. The richer the pigment, the more the denim sheds. Have patience, after 3-5 washings the problem will practically go away.
• If the item is painted, never rinse or wash it with soda.
