How to Colorfast Clothes

GADZOOKS! Someone didn't colorfast his gi!

















Last night, my husband's pristine white gi was stained by his jiu jitsu sparring partner who wore a red non-colorfast gi. How irresponsible!

(The Tide "lagot kayo sa asawa ko" commercial comes to mind now.)

Dear Mr. Red Gi,

Please print out this post and give it to whomever is in charge of your laundry.

HOW TO COLORFAST CLOTHES

Ingredients:
4 liters cold water
1 cup vinegar
1/4 cup salt

• Mix all the ingredients together. Use cold water for better results.
• Soak the garment into the solution. I colorfast each garment separately. If you wish to do one big batch, make sure you soak clothes of the same color.
• Let it stay in the solution for about 30 to 45 minutes.
• Wash separately. Be on the safe side, wash the garment separately until you're sure that your colorfasting was a success.

This is a good way to preserve the color of your clothes, especially jeans.

I hope this helps you, Mr. Red Gi.
