HELP!how will i maintain the beauty of my clothes..??

I am also separating all my whites into the colored ones and even if I am using downy which is "isang banlaw", it is still the same.

well the secret for that is 'kula' hehehe..

I'll put vinegar even if there's a detergent on water? for how long? and how does will it smell on my clothes?

Add the vinegar to the wash load with the detergent or when you hand wash the clothes. You rinse the clothes out so you do not smell like vinegar.

wow.. OK. I'll try that so soon.. I am so excited with the outcome.. hope that my faded black will bring back it's color. can I also put vinegar on the other colors? aside from black?

I always ignore the labels of my clothes.. thank you for reminding me, I see that labels have a big importance in washing clothes.. how will I dyed those clothes that already faded?. those I don't wring those small clothes of mine, I just hang them, and let it dry.. I see, now I know.. some of my jackets that are polyester tends to loose.. thanks for that wonderful suggestions, those will really help.

Dying the clothes, I just went to your profile to remind me of where you are located. Rit Dye probably isn't in the Phillipines. Here we have several ways to dye our clothes. We usually get a box of commercial dye and then follow the directions on the back of the box. We can also use dyes from food ( beet juice or grape juice for example-not sure how you would get black because tea and coffee don't really give black, more gray and brown. But food dyes aren't colorfast, and they tend to bleed onto other clothes so you can only wash with same colors). Laundromats now have clothes dying services where I live. Last time I went, there was a sign, "We will re-dye your faded jeans". It was really neat, they had a color chart. Mostly blue, I don't think I saw black there. Maybe your laudromats will dye clothes for you. You can ask at your stores if they have dye in boxes. Usually it tells you to disolve the dye in hot water and put the clothes in to soak. It give you an amount of time and then you rinse in cold water. This only works for clothing that can have hot and cold temps. No wool, that would shrink, not sure about silk, etc. I don't know if I've helped you very much. Take care

Thank you for best response.

even though I am not using the washing machine dryer, it tends to loose its fabric.. I already bought softener for my clothes.. let's see if this will work.

I am now using softener.. hope it'll work.

Maybe it's the way u wash your clothes or the hang it's being left to dry?? hehe ^_^ Softner really works and that's y it's so popular ^_^

what is woolite? OK, I will try to wring them all, but I'll use dryer for the big clothes because my hands are too small to wring them.

Oh! too bad, we don't have woolite here in our country.

woolite is a detergent for clothes. it keeps the clothes from fading. there are two types. they come in both two different containers. the blue is for dark colors, and the white is for whites. u can find it in your local grocery store. i had the same problem. i used woolite. i didn't use the dryer for my clothes. i hung dry them. have a good day

I just want to maintain the color..and I don't want to loosen it's fabric.

That will maintain the color and the fabric will usually not shrink if you do this. Loosening the tension this way prevents shrinking.

i would stop using the fabric softener for the next several loads - it builds up, and it [/i]softens the fabric[i], causing it to stretch only wash and rinse in cold water

thank you so much.. that's what I am doing.. yeah, I am now using downy fabric softener, and it helps to maintain the beauty of my clothes.thanks a lot!

thank you for that suggestion, I also don't hang my clothes under the sun but it was still the same. and yeah, I've noticed that using washing machine will loose its fabric, and I don't want it. I want to maintain its tightness.

wow!.. so that is the reason.. thank you, now I know.. nice tips.. I will always zip and lock the button on my jackets and pants to avoid that V shape..

I see, so I have to use different detergents for whites and colored ones.. well, I shouldn't consume more time in washing my clothes.. I have so much to after that.. thanks for that.. I am using pride as my detergent.. Tide is kinda expensive to me. LOL. but I'll try that sometimes.

oh, btw, my mom also buy second hands, but it's not obvious..it's like she also bought in a department store.try using TIDE, maybe it would help.lol..

what kind of safe color bleach? I am also using softener, but it is still the same.. what kind of dryer is that? because whenever I use dryer on my clothes, my clothes doesn't shrink, it became more bigger and looser!

I usually use Clorox 2 Color Safe Bleach for Colors. It works pretty good to not fade the colors. I also buy some of the store brands, and they help too but not as well. I have a Kenmoore dryer but sometimes I take my clothes to the Laundry Mat because sometimes there dryers are more powerful because their Industrial sized. Hope it helps, have a wonderful night!

I just bought a detergent which is best for colored clothes.. it was too expensive if I'll always go to the laundromat to do my laundry.. but I think it can shrink my clothes.. I should just choose those clothes which have sensitive fiber for me to bring to laundromat.
