All of us have probably noticed the dark film that remains on the sides of our cups after drinking tea.

It turns out that tea can stain not only dishes, but also faded clothes.

So, if a black item in your wardrobe has lost its saturation, in order to tint it, you can use a safe natural dye in the form of black tea.

Simply brew a strong drink directly in the basin and soak your jeans or turtleneck in it for a few hours.

If you need to restore the richness of multi-colored items, try a folk remedy such as salt.

To do this, before the next wash, add 150 g of salt directly into the drum of the washing machine.

If you are concerned that salt may harm your appliance in any way, you should take a different approach.

Soak faded items in salt water for 20 minutes after washing, then throw them back into the washing machine and select the Rinse program.
