How to clean tie-dyed clothes

When washing clothes, add a small amount of salt particles and soak for 1-2 hours before washing normally. Because salt has the function of fixing color, it is also treated in this way in the second washing. After these two fixation treatments, the problem of color fading was basically solved.

Step 2 Wash with warm water

When washing tie-dyed clothes, you can wash them with a washing machine or by hand, but be careful that the water temperature is not too hot, which will make the tie-dyed clothes fade.

3. Wash with neutral detergent or weak alkaline detergent.

Tie-dyed clothes are generally not suitable for machine washing, and neutral detergent or weakly alkaline detergent is more suitable. Glacial acetic acid must be added from beginning to end in the washing process, and brushing or hard brushing is not suitable. Don't rub hard during washing, and try to reduce friction.

Extended data:

Tie-dyeing and batik are traditional crafts in China. Although it is classified as printing, it is actually special dye dyeing, which is very different from modern printing technology. The dye used is indigo, a natural plant dye with poor color fastness and serious fading after washing.

When washing tie-dyed clothes, you must wash them separately from ordinary clothes, and dark and light colors should also be washed separately to avoid fading. Don't open tie-dyed clothes to dry, because smoke, dust and invisible microorganisms will adhere to the surface of clothes with the flow of air, and the sun will also rot the color.
