For me the biggest contributor to fading is if it was in the dryer a little too long or too hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-preventing-fading-when-washing-los-clothes#post-478269 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:45:37 +0000 smocks 478269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vinegar? All clothes will be slightly faded/fuzzy after a wash, but I usually put maybe 1/2 cup of vinegar in with our wash cycle and nothing is super faded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-on-preventing-fading-when-washing-los-clothes#post-478262 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 14:40:51 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 478262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if it's because we have really hard water, my old washing machine, or because I'm not doing something right, but all of DD's clothes look faded, even after just one wash. I'm disappointed. I would like them to look like new for a little longer than just one wash, and I would like to try to keep them in case we need to use them when we have another baby, but they look so worn so fast that I don't know if they'll make it to #2. </p> <p>I wash them with dreft in cold water and on low heat. </p> <p>Do you have tips on how to prevent the fading? </p>
