Laundry that Bleeds:Grandmother s Tip for Fixing Colors.

Do your clothes have a tendency to rub off?

I have lost count of the T-shirts and sweatshirts that have rubbed off in the washing machine...

The result ? Not only do clothes fade, but often colors spread on other clothes.

Fortunately, my grandmother gave me a very effective trick to prevent clothes from fading in the wash.

The economical trick that works to fix the colors is to soak the vinegar in a little white vinegar. Watch:

Result

And that's it, the clothes will no longer rub off in your machine :-)

White vinegar has the virtue of fixing the colors, as if by magic.

Say goodbye to pink socks!

Simple, practical and effective, isn't it?

And this anti-discoloration thing is more economical than Décolor Stop Action wipes.

No more clothing that rubs off on itself or on white laundry in the wash!

Bonus tip

And that's not all:white vinegar is a powerful stain remover.

So if it's already too late and your clothes have been damaged, you can still recover them by soaking them 30 min in a basin filled with 4 liters of water and 250 ml of vinegar . A real miracle product!

That's how I got pink socks, sky blue underwear, khaki T-shirts...

Summary

In prevention or in healing, trust white vinegar. Soak your clothes in water and vinegar.

Then, do your laundry normally. As a precaution, I only wear one item of clothing at a time, or several of the same color.

As you probably know, white vinegar has many uses. It's a miracle product that we love at Comment-economiser.fr!

If you want to know more tips with white vinegar, I recommend Michel Droulhiole's book:Le Vinaigre Malin .

Yes, among hundreds of other white vinegar tricks, the author has one for clothes that might rub off;-)
