Caring For Darks

Don’t let your little black dress turn gray! Let The Laundress Darks Detergent help you keep your dark colored garments looking as good as new!

Sort your laundry before washing. Always wash dark colors together.
If the item is stained: pre-treat the area with The Laundress Stain Solution or use The Laundress Wash & Stain Bar.
Turn your clothing inside out. This prevents abrasion and lengthens the life of colorant dyes.
Wash clothing using The Laundress Darks Detergent which combines color guard and enzymes that remove microfibers [also know as lint] and build up from fibers.
Hang dry clothes. If using a dryer, set to the lowest heat setting and add a Laundress Classic Dryer Sheet for added softness, static cling control and scent.

TIPS:

Hand washing will lengthen the life of colored garments.
In between washing and wearing spray garments with your favorite scent of The Laundress Fabric Fresh an anti-bacterial and odor removal spray.
Clean your washer monthly with The Laundress Machine Cleaner to protect fibers and fading from machine build up, lime scale and rust. Add (¼ cup, 4 oz, 120 ml) to your machine dispenser and run a long load with hot water. Run a second load with just water and your ready to go!
Excessive drying causes colors to fade, so only use the dryer when necessary - line drying is always best!
Dryer drums collect lots of lint. Use a cloth or sponge and dip in cleaning solution (one capful The Laundress Stain Solution and 1 liter of water). Wipe inside of dryer to clean once a month.
Clean out your dryer lint trap before every drying cycle. A clean lint screen will reduce drying time, remove lint from your garments more effectively and prevent extra buildup and lint on clean laundry.
