Our favorite black clothes never stay stark black for very long.
It's true that by dint of washing them, they fade.
Fortunately, there is a simple and free solution to revive the black of our clothes.
This grandmother's recipe, since it was my grandmother herself who advised it to me, is to wash your black clothes with an ivy decoction.
And I am surprisingly surprised with the result. It's crazy, nature! Watch:
1. Pour a liter of water into a saucepan.
2. Add 12 ivy leaves.
3. Boil for 10 min.
4. Filter the decoction.
5. Use this preparation in rinsing water, in the compartment of the washing machine provided for this purpose.
There you go, your clothes come out black :-)
Simple, practical and effective!
In it is completely natural and particularly economical.
Ivy really has a black-fixing power. The black of my clothes is revived.
Let's also remember that the classic detergent contains bleaching agents, which are therefore very bad for our dark clothes.
It is these detergents that cause our black clothes to lose their intensity.
I therefore prefer to use soap nuts or simple grated Marseille soap in laundry.
- You can also replace this decoction with 2 glasses of coffee or a glass of white vinegar, always rinsing in the washing machine. I alternate to be on the safe side.
- You can replace ivy leaves with walnut leaves.
- And because you can never be too careful, I turn all my clothes inside out before washing and during drying. The sun also has fun making the dark gray.
Personally ruin myself in a special detergent for black clothes, a special red clothes, one for wool sweaters etc... that doesn't tell me too much.
Knowing that ivy and white vinegar are much more effective.
Ivy is found in nature... so it's free. White vinegar, as usual, 20 cents per liter max. That is less than 5 cts per machine .
And with that, no more laundry. So it's hop hop, small calculation:at least 10 € saved per month!
