Basically, shampoo and vinegar can help restore the black color to dull clothes. When used on fabric, shampoo works by cleaning the fabric fibers of body oils, sweat, and detergent residue that builds up over time. These residues can make the black color on the fabric look dull. By thoroughly cleaning the fabric fibers, shampoo can help the black color look brighter and more intense again.
On the other hand, vinegar is mildly acidic and makes it effective in removing detergent residue left on fabrics after washing. In addition, vinegar also helps neutralize the alkali in detergents, which are often the cause of black fading. When used, vinegar also works to soften the fabric fibers, making black colors appear sharper, and reducing the dull appearance of clothes.
