I just wanted to share with you a quick tip that my mother taught me. She shared with me an awesome trick that prevents the color from fading on your favorite clothing items.
What You'll Need:
- Vinegar - any kind will do (white, apple cider, etc)
- A bucket, sink, whatever you'll need to put the clothes in
- Water
- Fill the bucket half way up with cold water.
- Poor 5 cap fulls of vinegar into the bucket and mix
- Place the article of clothing into the bucket
- Allow it to soak for about 2-3 hours before you wash in the washer.
- Place the article of clothing and wash like you normally do
BTW, this works great with new jeans where the color just comes out and gets all over your other clothes. Pretty much do this with any colored clothes and it should help keep the color longer and prevent fading.
My friend and I started a laundry service from our homes a few years ago. We found a little tip that we use on every load now. White vinegar. Add 3/4 cup into the rinse cycle and it acts as a natural fabric softner, saves money, is eco-friendly, prevents fading and helps keep your washing machine clean.
