Other useful tips to avoid clothing fading

So far we have seen the ingredients that you can use to revive the color of your clothes. But what if you want to prevent the problem and keep your clothes looking new? Just follow the steps below!

First of all, we advise you to wash items of the same color separately from others, especially if you noticed that an item of clothing is faded the first time you wash it. In general, some fabrics, such as cotton and silk, are more likely to fade during the first few washes.

In addition, it is advisable to always wash these colored garments at medium or low temperatures, that is, in cold water or at a temperature not exceeding 40°C, as hot water favors the distribution of colors. Finally, when washing and drying, you should always try to place them inside out, which should be done not in the sun but in the shade.
