Advice

  • Soak clothes in vinegar for about 30 minutes, then wash as usual (before putting on for the first time). The color should last for a long time.
  • Avoid spraying perfume directly on clothing, spray it on your skin.
  • Soak clothes in a solution of a sofa and water (1 cup of baking soda per 5 liters of water) before washing them for the first time. Most paints use an acid solution similar to salt water, and baking soda neutralizes the chloride and retains the color. Dry your clothes as usual. Depending on the type of dye, the color should not fade.
