degreasing, softening and cleaning properties, making it a perfect ingredient for washing dark clothes.&nbsp;<strong>Put cold water and 4 tablespoons of white vinegar<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;in a bowl,

coarse salt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there is never a shortage of vinegar in the pantry, the same goes for&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;coarse salt<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;This ingredient is also perfect for preventing black and colored clothes from fading.&nbsp;Its&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;absorbent properties<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;are capable of eliminating traces of lime that often accumulate on fabrics during washing.&nbsp;In 2&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>liters of water, add 2 tablespoons of coarse salt<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and soak the clothes for an hour.&nbsp;After that, proceed with a normal wash.&nbsp;For a

any detergent residue from clothing, making it perfect for preventing discoloration of dark clothing.&nbsp;<strong>We recommend adding a tablespoon of black peppercorns to a container of water and leaving the clothes in for half an hour.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;You can also add pepper in the washing machine, before starting the wash and set temperatures no higher than 30 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Combine bay leaf and baking soda<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another ancient remedy to revive the colors of clothing involves the use of&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>baking soda and bay leaves<\/strong>&nbsp;.&nbsp;In a pot full of hot water, put 10 bay leaves and 4 tablespoons of baking soda.&nbsp;Pour the contents into a container and let the clothes soak overnight.&nbsp;In

discoloration of cured garments, we recommend that you also adopt other solutions.&nbsp;For example, it is preferable to always wash at&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>maximum temperatures of 30 or 40 degrees<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;and put&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>the fabrics inside out<\/strong>&nbsp;in the washing machine .&nbsp;Use&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;mild soaps that are not too harsh.&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;For example, use soap or Marseille vinegar to wash.&nbsp;<strong>Hang dark clothes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;in the shade, do not expose them to direct sunlight, as they may
