How To Wash Black Jeans
To wash black jeans to avoid fading, begin by turning them inside out and laundering them in cold water with other dark, non-fuzzy items. You can use a little regular detergent, or one formulated for washing black jeans so they don’t fade. You can also throw one half cup of white vinegar into the rinse cycle to help keep the color fresh. Tumble dry the jeans until they are almost dry, then hang them up, still inside out, to finish drying. Again, never dry your black jeans outdoors, as the sunlight can fade them. Also, a soon as they are dry, place them back in a dark closet or drawer away from all light.
