Yes. Use cold/cold. Most dark clothing contains heavy dye content and washing them in cold water insures that less "bleeding" occurs. Cold water also prevents your clothes from shrinking so much.
The first time you wash something (that is very dark), you should wash it out by hand. If it does lose a lot of its dye, you won't ruin the rest of your clothes.
Happy Laundering!!! From a Gal Who Knows!!

The white powder is for sure the powdered detergent no longer dissolving. because you in simple terms have chilly water, contained in the destiny purchase in simple terms liquid laundry detergent. to apply the powder for now.. come across a pail, diploma out your powder for the size of the wash, upload to bucket, then upload a pair cups of warm water. Stir it up till it dissolves. would take 5 minutes or longer. Pour the liquified detergent into gadget at the same time with your darkish clothing wash.

Yep, it will preserve the coloring. In fact, you can wash all of your clothes in cold or tap temperature and save energy. Modern detergents are just as effective in cold water as in warm.

It keeps the color from fading or "running" (color leaking onto other clothes). After repeated washings the color will eventually start to fade but it will fade faster in warm or hot water. That's why you dont mix light and dark colors even in cold water.

Yes, you're right. Always wash your dark colors on cold/cold other wise they will fade much faster.

Just go by the label.
For the bachelor looking for low-maintenance wash, throw your jeans and hardy hoodies with your undies and socks in the "warm" cycle, everything else in "cold."
If you want low-maintenance washing, throw everything in "cold' - you're guaranteed to not hurt anything (but not the best quality wash).

Yes, cold/cold means wash cold and rinse cold. Good luck.

Cold water would be best, you also should turn it inside out. sometimes it is best not to put it in the dryer it can ruin the color. if you do put it in the dryer, use low setting, and take it out immediately after it is done.
