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.

I wash them with dreft in cold water and on low heat.

Do you have tips on how to prevent the fading?
