It happens that your favorite thing sheds after washing, it happens that the thing sheds after the first wash. What to do? Don't worry, there are ways to bring things back to their original color.
But, frankly, it is easier to prevent this from happening than to return the thing to its original state later.
Let's figure out how to properly wash things.
Causes of shedding of things after washing
The main reason, of course, is the wrong washing mode. Then the too dirty thing has not yet had time to wash off, and the dirt from it simply leaves stains on the product.
The addition of a large amount of detergent also has a great effect. Do not get carried away with the addition of bleach, for example.
The law known to everyone is that light, dark and colored things cannot be washed together. This is most dangerous for white things, they will be the first to acquire colored spots. Therefore, we wash separately dark, separately white or light and separately colored, then your things will not shed.
It is best to wash new clothes separately from old ones, as there is a high risk that paint from new clothes can stain old ones.
Note: If new clothes continue to be painted, this often happens with jeans for example, you can pre-soak them for several hours in a solution of kitchen salt. Salt helps to fix the dye on the fabric and the thing will no longer stain others during washing.
Do not wash colored fabrics in water that is too hot for them.
Pay attention to the tags, they often indicate at what temperature it is necessary to wash things. Do not disregard the manufacturer's recommendations.
Rescue faded items

It is best to save a thing that is still wet, without waiting until it dries completely. There are several rescue options, you can choose the most convenient for you:

It is necessary that the liquid becomes a thick mass, this mass must be applied in a thick layer to the affected areas of the tissue and left for twelve hours. Then wash the item separately from other fabrics in the mode recommended by the manufacturer.

- We boil things. Put a solution of baking soda and grated laundry soap on the fire. Put your clothes in there and boil for about half an hour.

Baking soda also works well with colored stains on colored items. Mix it with water so that a slurry is formed and apply for twenty minutes on pollution. You can repeat until then. Until the stains are gone, then wash again.
What to do with delicate fabrics?
If after washing there are stains on things and these things are made of delicate fabric, then a special approach is needed. Bleach should not be used on silk or wool, you can only try it on a small area and see how the products work. But it is best to use mustard powder, dilute it in the proportion of 1 tablespoon of powder per 1 liter of warm water. Soak clothes for three hours, and then wash clothes.
