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.
