wnaplay1647545503 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 What is the key to keeping new clothes looking new? I always get black shirts and colored shirts and they always fade in no time. I have tried cold water, not drying, little detergent. I have seen guys with the same cloths for years that still look, feel new. Not that I am touching another guys clothes. You metrosexual types please enlighten me. And yeah I have tried not washing them at all but that doesn't last long. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson1647545504 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Don't wash thme as much ... get one of these, great for pulling odor and freshening/straightening the fabric. You'll only need to wash if you have a stain. http://www.whirlpool.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=513 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Washing inside out helps as well. I also use the dryer on medium heat instead of high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotarded1647545491 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Try adding vinegar to cold water the first cycle you wash your new shirts. It will help set the color. http://www.vinegarbook.co.uk/Caring_For_Your_Clothes_With_Vinegar.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 ive done my own laundry since i was 10, i always do warm/warm wash cycle, extra rinse, extra detergent (like 1.5 caps) and dry them high heat with a dryer strip. looking over to my closet, i see shirts and pants ive had since freshman/sophomore (graduated '03) year that i still wear, still look new, besides the style being a few years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
