I want to keep my black jeans black. Is there a special detergent? Do I soak them in water with salt?

Answer 1

to keep black jeans black wash them inside out in cold water & hang dry, use woolite for darks... if you want to re- set the dye use alum instead of soaking them in salt water. alum is available in the spice aisle of the grocery store, it is a great fixative for dye.

if you would really like to keep your black black, white white and colors bright here is what you do. Go to www.melaleuca.com. They have nearly 400 products for your everyday use, but in the laundry care department check out the melapower laundry detergent. it is hyperallergenic, you can get it in scented or unscented. the also have melabright.
