How do you keep black jeans black?
Question:I brought some black rocawear jeans last week and washed them once and they seem to be fading already
Answers:
There is a special laundry detergent out there just for black clothes, you can also try washing them with other blacks and in cold water.
don't wash them
Wash in cold water
Try washing them inside out in cold water! Hope it works!
Always wash them inside out.
wash and rinse in cold water, use cheer dark, wash wrong side out
Don't put them in the dryer because that takes the color out, cold wash only inside out and only use a detergent that's gentle on colors.
wash them inside out and hang dry them
You can either dye them with Rit brand dye, or keep them dark with Woolite Dark Laundry Fabric Wash.
Black dye is very volatile. All brands will fade, but the better the quality, the longer they will stay dark.
"Crocking" is when they fade in lines, like wrinkle lines. That is common in black jeans
Black jeans always fade. You can slow this with cold water washes and color safe detergents, but periodic redying will be necessary to KEEP them black.
