Avoid having to replace almost new clothes often because your old ones have worn down in the wash. Keep clothes from fading and keep them looking brighter for longer with these easy tips and tricks.
Why do Clothes Wear Down or Age in the Wash?
When clothes are not washed correctly, they can age and fade fast. There is nothing more annoying than buying great quality, new clothing only to have them fade and look dull after a few washes. Do you know what conditions cause clothes to fade in the wash? Here are the main reasons:
Hot Water - Hot water can cause clothes to fade over time.
Direct Sunlight - Direct, harsh sunlight for hours on end can also be the reason for clothes fading fast.
Incorrect detergents – Using the wrong detergents like laundry liquids, powders and fabric conditioners on the wrong fabrics can cause certain fabrics to fade quicker.
Bleaching – This goes without saying but using bleach or detergents with bleach in them can cause bright colours and dark colours to fade too.
Which Detergents are Best to Prevent Clothes from Fading?
Choosing the right detergent range for your clothing will be the best solution to stop clothes from fading.
When it comes to laundry liquid or powders for washing colours and darks, you ideally want to choose a laundry detergent that is specifically created to keep bright colours bright and that will prevent clothes colouring and bleeding or fading.
