How To Keep Black Clothes From Fading. Take A Lesson From Zorro?

Ever wonder how Zorro kept his black cape from fading?  I mean he's riding around in the hot Mexican sun, working up a sweat dueling bad guys, and generally exposing that cape to a lot more wear and tear than you or I would to our clothes.  Yet his black outfit always looked black, it never faded.  Okay maybe Zorro is a bad example.  The only reason I bring him up is that I have what I call my Zorro outfit hanging in the closet and I'll bet you do to.

We all have at least a couple of pieces of black clothing that are our favorites.  My Zorro outfit consists of black slacks and a black turtleneck sweater.  Sometimes when I'm wearing it people ask me where I parked my U-Boat.  At any rate you know what I mean.  Black is sophisticated and a great look that we all like.  And it fades.

So is there a way to stop black garments from fading?  Well the answer is no but you can slow it down following these handy tips.

When you're getting ready to wash the item, button it up or zip it up and then turn it inside out.  The idea here is to keep the fabric that shows when we wear it away from the full impact of the agitator and the detergent.

If you can, and if it's your favorite item you'll find a way, wash the black item by hand rather than using the washing machine.  Abrasion is the number one cause of accelerated fading and if you can eliminate contact with the washing machine's agitator, as well as contact with other clothes, then you can keep your black item black a lot longer.  If you have to use the washer, set it on gentle and use cold water and try to keep the number of other items in the wash to a minimum.  Also use a gentle detergent, one without "whiteners" included.

Here's a handy tip.  If you're washing your black clothing in the machine, add a cup of white vinegar to the water.  Vinegar will prevent the dye in the clothing from bleeding.  Vinegar in the rinse cycle will remove more soap from the fabric than any liquid fabric softener.  And actually soap residue plays a big part in blacks "fading".  It's not so much that the black has faded than it is that the soap is just hanging on subduing the color.

If you can, air dry your black clothes but don't do it by hanging them in direct sunlight.  Ideally you would hang the clothes where they would be exposed to a light breeze and then touch up the moist areas with an iron.  If you have to use the dryer, keep the clothes turned inside out and set the dryer on its lowest temperature setting.  If you've used vinegar in the wash then you have no need to use a fabric softener sheet.

The dryer is the biggest enemy to black fabric.  The heat and abrasion is the number one cause of fading.

So with a little care you can keep those black things black longer.  I wonder if Zorro used white vinegar.

Some of the Benefits of black soap - Helps deep clean skin. - Works on most skin types including rough and dry or sensitive skin - Helps clear skin bumps and spots - Helps relieve acne, oily skin & other skin problems. - Great for removing makeup - Works against premature facial lines and wrinkles - Can be lathered and used as a shampoo. Usage of the Black African Soap Break off a bar-size piece from the bulk, then press it to shape with your hands, or use it as is. Rub the bar between your hands (or on a washcloth would also work), then rub your soapy hands on your skin and hair. (If you rub the bar on your hair, it will get hair stuck to the bar.) Black soap absorbs water easily, so keep it from sitting in water or it will dissolve away. The soap holders covered with little vertical fingers work well. Because this soap is softer than commercial soap, it comes off the bar more easily, so less rubbing of the bar is needed to release enough soap. When you start another bar, just push the old soap sliver onto the new piece and the two will easily unite; leaving no waste. How to Store the Black African Soap Pure traditional African black soap is a soft milled soap and has very high natural glycerin content. As a result, it readily absorbs moisture from the air. It must be stored in a dry location or in a sealed plastic bag or it will become soft as it absorbs moisture. Black soap exposed to the air will have a thin white colored film. This film is not mold it is caused by absorption of water from the air. This can be avoided by keeping the soap in a dry location away from moisture until ready for use. Ingredients: Traditional Black Soap contains mainly cocoa pod ashes, plantain skins ashes, and palm oil, processed together. Note: This Soap comes in a 1 Lb sealed in food grade plastic bag.
