How to deal with faded clothes with kitchen ingredients.
You can try several simple methods to deal with faded clothes using ingredients you usually have in the kitchen. Here are some tips that might help.
1. Vinegar.
Soak faded clothes in a mixture of warm water and white vinegar (1:1 ratio) for several hours. Vinegar can help remove stains and brighten the color of some types of fabric.
2. Salt.
Mix salt in cold water and soak faded clothes for several hours before washing. Salt can help maintain color and prevent further fading.
3. Lemons.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice and mix it with water. Soak clothes in this mixture for a few hours before washing them. The acid in lemons can help restore color to faded fabrics.
4. Cold water.
When washing clothes that are prone to fading, use cold water rather than hot water. Hot water can speed up the color fading process on fabric.
5. Vinegar and salt.
Mix vinegar and salt in cold water and soak clothes in the mixture before washing them. This combination can help maintain color and prevent further fading.
Before trying any method, be sure to do a small test on an inconspicuous part of your shirt to ensure that the material and color are not negatively affected.
