How to prevent the color of black things from turning pale?

Practice shows that returning the original color to black garments is not so simple, therefore it is better to properly look after capricious products from the beginning and to prevent the washing out of paint from them. This is possible if you keep in mind the following points:

Tip: To remove stains that can occur on black things, you must use enzymatic washing powders or gels. They perfectly cope with pollution at low temperatures, they are washed out of the fibers without problems, and they allow them to return to their original tension, and hence their shape.

  • Even if you simply rinse the items in cold water after each wash with the addition of a tablespoon of vinegar, a pinch of small table salt or baking soda, the color quality will remain much longer than with normal care.

It is worth considering that the above manipulations are not able to return color to faded things. For this, more radical measures will have to be taken.

How can I restore the black color of clothes using improvised means?

Usually housewives prefer to use folk remedies to restore the color of clothes quickly and without risk to the material. These procedures do not require serious monetary and time investments. It is only necessary to choose the best option from the existing ones and correctly perform all the stages of manipulation:

  1. Tobacco. Take a teaspoon of the most common cigarette tobacco, pour a liter of boiling water and insist until it cools completely. The resulting composition is filtered several times through a two-layer gauze. We take the product from black fabric, previously washed in accordance with all the rules, and gently wipe it with a sponge moistened in tobacco solution. We act methodically, without lingering for a long time on one site, we work through the garment completely. Often this method is used to restore the color of the trousers on the knees, but in general, it can be used on any product. You do not need to rinse anything, just dry thoroughly in the fresh air.
  2. Vinegar. Rinsing the material in water with the addition of vinegar not only preserves the black color, but also allows you to significantly refresh, and sometimes return, its shade. True, in this case, the concentration of the solution should be increased. Take a tablespoon of vinegar for every liter of cold water. The exposure time should be at least half an hour.After exposure, items rinse in clean cold water and hang out in fresh air.
  3. Other black items. With dense dark things, such as trousers, prone to molt, you can literally re-dye the dull fabric. To do this, soak the products together in warm water without adding detergents. After a quarter of an hour, put them in the washing machine and wash as usual. After that, rinse the treated black wardrobe in a weak vinegar solution. This will fix the result achieved.

After all the manipulations, you should think about the right attitude to black things, otherwise pretty soon they will fade again and lose their presentable appearance.

Advantages and disadvantages of chemical staining

Despite the fact that it is easiest to return to black products the desired look with the help of coloring, many today refuse this method. Chemical paint is really able to slightly thin the fibers of the material and accelerate the wear of products, but this will only happen if you resort to this manipulation too often or neglect the technical recommendations on the process. Otherwise, the approach has only advantages:
