I have tried many products. I just cant keep my cloths from fading.What am I doing wrong?
May be u hang them for drying in sunlight for more than enough time that also fades the colour
I wash wrong side out,use 1/2 the detergent called for and dry on hottest temp.The shorter time tumbling around the better.Air dry inside for no sun exposure.I dry jeans wrong side out too.You can use 1/2 cup of vinegar to try to deter fading.
Other than avoiding the dryer, using gentle detergents with color brighteners, and avoiding sunshine, theres not much you can do to avoid color fade with some colors. You may be better served by buying clothes that are more colorfast. Look for poly blends instead of 100% cotton. Polyester, Nylon, acrylic, lycra and other synthetic fibers tend to hold color better than natural fibers like cotton. Also, some colors tend to fade more than others. Gray, brown, blue and green tend to last longer while black, red and purple tend to fade fairly quickly. Maybe you could stick to cotton with the colors less likely to fade and use the poly blends on colors more likely to fade. I hope that helps!
