Clothes can lose color intensity and start to look faded over time after frequent washing. This is especially noticeable in dark and light-colored clothes that we wear and wash frequently.
However, there is a simple trick you can try the next time you do laundry, and for it you need an ingredient that almost everyone has in their kitchen, which is salt.
All you have to do is add a tablespoon of salt before turning on the washing machine. The salt is placed in an empty compartment of the washing machine, that is, in the one you are not using at the moment.
During the wash, salt will enter the drum along with the water. This simple process is used as a way to help clothes stay fresher and their colors last longer.
There is also the option of adding salt directly to the drum, before putting the clothes in. However, if you want to try this trick, a simpler option is to put it in an empty compartment of the washing machine.
The trick can be especially effective with dark wardrobes and heavily colored clothes that are washed frequently. In addition, properly separating clothes, washing at the right temperature, and following the instructions on the label can help clothes maintain their appearance for as long as possible.
If you notice that your clothes are losing color faster after washing, you can try this simple trick during the next wash cycle.
