To avoid all your favourite dark coloured clothings from fading, wash them inside out to preserve their colour. The same goes for prints on clothing – turning them inside out will prevent the print from cracking and/or fading.
There is every chance of faster colour bleeding if a garment is washed in water that is warm or hot.
Ensure all clothing, especially dark coloured apparel are washed or rinsed in cold water to minimise the excess colour drain from the fabric.
