And because the fiber in the fabric is damaged, people will see the colors fade at the clothes, although the actual colors in the fabric does not fade at all. Black clothes were faded due to friction that occurs when the clothes come in contact with one another in a washing machine.)
- Wash all clothes of the same color: If possible, wash your black clothes with black clothes only, or any other dark color. The color of the clothing is more likely to fade when washed. But if there is no bright-colored cloth which absorbs the darker the color, the color will be absorbed back into your black clothes.
