Why Do Clothes Fade?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we dive deeper in answering what to do if clothes start to fade, we first need to explain why clothes fade<\/a> in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sun is usually the cause of faded clothes. Whenever you dry your clothes in the garden, make sure you dry your clothes inside out<\/a> to stop fading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, clothes fade because you may not be following care instructions. The care labels are there as a guide on the best ways to care for your clothes. Make sure you wash on the right settings<\/a> and don\u2019t use too much heat on the tumble dryer<\/a> as this causes colours to fade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ways To Restore Faded Clothes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your clothes\u2019 colour fading is certainly not a good feeling but you can restore them by adding salt to your wash. When you start your laundry, make sure you put detergent<\/a> in the washing machine and add \u00bd cup of salt to the drum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, you can also choose to add vinegar<\/a> to your laundry routine when starting the washing machine<\/a>. If you have a top-load washer, simply pour \u00bd cup of vinegar before you start the cycle. If you have front-load washers, put the vinegar in the softener dispenser space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, you can take advantage of the sunlight to help restore faded colours. Whenever the weather is good and the sun is shining, hang your clothes in direct sunlight. Then you\u2019ll start to see results in your garments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, you can also wash your faded clothes with clothes that are the same colour. While this method may not always be successful, it can be helpful because the colours from the new clothes can bleed into your affected clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you follow these ways, you will restore faded clothes successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your clothes need to be in tip-top condition at all times and it\u2019s important to extend their life-span for as long as you possibly can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
