I love black clothes.
One problem though, they all fade.

I've now asked the helpers to cold wash and hang dry (TAMA DIBA?)

Now I was also told that I could re-dye some of my black tees. Do you know anybody or any stores in Manila that could do that for me?

Thank you.

Use Woolite Dark instead of normal detergent. Wash clothes inside-out. Don't dry them in the sun.

Also, are they being hand washed or machine washed? IMO vigorous hand washing is bad for clothes.

Woolite dark is freakin expensive for laundy soap. It's like 800+ in S&R/Pricesmart.


The real problem with black clothes. Is these white hairs and white specs of whatever/lint (himulmol)...


I have a lit remover and all but they still be effed up.

You can also use Perwoll Black Magic. I think that's what we're using right now.

If you think lint is bad, try living with a persian cat.

Judging from experience following the clothes' care label instruction works best.

If it says DO NOT DRY CLEAN, common sense suggests you don't dry clean it.
