Faded wools are a blow to the heart : we buy them for their bright colors, especially now that summer invites us to dare with colors and we want to emphasize the first tan.
An explosion of shades ranging from bright red to orange, from deep blue to indigo, from forest green to meadow green, from canary yellow to straw yellow: fashion pushes us to make our look more purposeful and lively . But if one wash is enough to see the vital and energetic charge of that carefully chosen shade fade, then despair takes over!
It is true that we must proceed with caution: set the washing machine to low temperatures, use the appropriate leaflets, perhaps even the appropriate detergent. Let’s not forget, then, to hang the clothes inside out and not under the direct rays of the sun. However, even if we always take all precautions, it happens that we find garments that no longer shine for their intensity, originality and tones.
To do? Resign ourselves to it? Never! Even for these small inconveniences there is a solution!
It is a grandmother’s remedy, natural and effective!
Are you curious to know how to fix it and return your t-shirts to their original shine? Begin!

A handful of bay leaves are enough to renew faded t-shirts.
This aromatic plant is not only phenomenal in the kitchen to perfume meats, fish, sauces, etc.; It is not simply a natural digestive, if taken in the form of an infusion; Not only is it an air freshener if you boil it in a pot of water (it can also neutralize the intense smell of fried foods)… It is much more than that.
We have often talked to you about its properties , but not yet about what it can do for clothes . It is also worth including this peculiarity among the various reasons why it should never be missing from the pantry.
To get the most out of it, you need 10 leaves and 4 tablespoons of baking soda.
Pour plenty of water into a saucepan, add bay leaf and baking soda, put on heat and bring to a boil. Lower the gas and let it cook for about twenty minutes. The baking soda must dissolve completely and the bay leaf, with prolonged high temperatures, will be able to release all its essential oils into the infusion liquid.
After this time, turn off the heat and let it cool , then pour the mixture into a container, submerge your faded clothes. Let them sit in this solution for a full day and night.
The next day, take them back, squeeze them, and put them in the washing machine. Proceed with your usual washing, hang them outdoors and enjoy their renewed splendor!
