Wash all darks together every time...
wash inside out
First wash only with other dark clothes, next try "Tide" for dark clothes and if you are still having fading issues. Add salt to the clothes you don't want to fade. GOOD LUCK!
turn them inside out - do this when ironing too
if in doubt - just dye them all back to black
Turning them inside out and cold water helps.
Wash only in cold water on gentle cycle, using Tide for Cold Water or Woolite liquid. Small amount of fabric softener. Hang to dry, no tumbling.
Cold water wash with SALT and or VINEGAR added to your wash cycle. They set the color in so it doesn't bleed/run any more.
there are detrgents that can keep blacks looking black... just look around. i think woolite is one of them but im not sure
Turn them inside out that helps
Buy that cool new dark color detergant that they sell in stores. That ought the keep the color from fading
Wash on a normal wash with only other black coloured clothes ,make sure there is no bleach in your washing powder as this helps fade out black
hand-wash!
Ya, can't. Just wash at a low temperature.
Wash in cold water on the delicate cycle and use a detergent made for black/dark colored clothes. Do not line dry them in the sun.
if they arent visibly soiled/smell nasty-sweaty dont even both w/ detergent. just wash in cold water
I heard that handwashing helps preserve blacks.
Also harsh detergents w/ hot dryer temperature
will lighten your blacks too.
I woud try woolite for dark clothes, do a gentle cycle just
for your blacks using this detergent and put the heat low
on the dryer, if this still doesnt work, you may have to
line dry.
Good luck!

Wash them with other black clothes using a suitable washing product. Don't dry them in sunlight, as they will fade. If things get too grey, try using a washing machine dye (Dylon do a good one) to restore the black colour.
Wash in cold water, you might want to turn them inside out, use the gentle cycle and get a detergent made for dedicates and/or dark colored clothes.
Wash, dry and iron them inside out.
use woolight
wash inside out, always use a liquid detergent, and my brother swears by using vinegar in the final rinse - and I must say....his clothes do stay new looking longer. Aso wash in cold water when possible.
Don't wash !!
cold water and turn ur shirt inside out
Salt and vinegar sets the color. You just have to use the vinegar once but all clothes can use salt.
turn inside out
Wash in cold water & don't use detergents that claim to brighten
your clothes. (Tide, Fab, All, Purex, Arm&Hammer, Colorox)
Or any brand that has bleach made into dry powder.
One of the reasons that dark clothes fade in laundry is that most city public water works use chlorine to kill germs and bacteria. There really isn't much you can do. I have seen people write that you can insert sea salt or vinegar in the wash water to help set the dye. Some write to immerse the clothes in pure vinegar before washing, but this seems extreme. Perhaps try this on clothes that are extremely sensitive to the wash cycle.
The best you can do is use cold water, and add lots of vinegar.
We installed a home filtration system that strips the chlorine from the house water. We found it at www.lifesource.com. We experience no fading now, and the water out of the faucet in spring water quality. No more buying bottled water.
wash it inside out and hang it upsidedown but always wear it the rightside up
