However, numerous automatic washings do not have the most favorable effect on colored linen. Over time, the color of the fabric becomes less and less bright.

Fortunately, it is possible to stop this unpleasant process (and even return your underwear to its original appearance).

To do this, you need to use one additive intended for washing powder.

You need to use one tablespoon of sodium chloride.

If the washing powder is mixed with salt, it will wash out of the fabric normally.

This way, the clothes will always retain their bright color. And this will not be affected by numerous washes.

It is worth noting that mixing the powder with salt also helps to restore the original appearance of those things that have long since “faded”.
