It makes a big difference! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249735 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 16:20:26 +0000 Helena 2249735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorting, cold water, hang to dry I have had some luck in removing dinge by adding vinegar to the wash water, but am told this can also damage the fibres of the item, so proceed with caution on that one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249707 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 13:07:52 +0000 Ginger 2249707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In addition to color sorting, I also use dye magnets/color catchers. It looks like a dryer sheet but you put it in the washer. It absorbs loose dye in the water, keeping it from depositing on other clothes. I re-use them until they get extra dark. I've found they work even for tricky garments like red tops with white trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249673 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 07:15:43 +0000 rachylou 2249673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorting and cold water, yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249661 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 04:18:12 +0000 Carla 2249661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you’re sorted! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249648 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 02:02:59 +0000 Jaime 2249648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) I know the feeling! But color sorting is key. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249646 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 01:16:14 +0000 Garden Fairy 2249646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, colour sorting! [Slaps head]</p> <p>I feel kind of stupid but I had not thought of that, seriously. Can yoy guess I don't do it much/ever? But I didn't use to wear cream befor either. We live and learn :)</p> <p>I will try this on the weekend. I have the exact twin of the cream tee that got dingy after one wash, so I can comprare results. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249640 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 00:44:15 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2249640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can’t say as I’ve had this happen. I use the gentle cycle a lot, and hang pretty much everything to dry. Also, I’m a crazy color sorter. Not just lights &amp; darks, but reds get their own load, and when one load gets too big, I sort by even more specific color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249636 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 00:17:54 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2249636@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that washing separately from anything colored or dark helps. I also have found that hydrogen peroxide can help take out stains or color bleeding. I struggle with this, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-cream-tops-to-keep-their-color#post-2249635 Thu, 27 Jan 2022 00:14:47 +0000 Garden Fairy 2249635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Has anybody found out how? Am I the only one who hasn't figured this out? It feels that no matter how I wash them, cream tees after one wash become... dingy white...</p> <p>How to get them clean without having them lose that cream hue? If anyone has found the answer please enlighten me!</p> <p>P.S. I do not take things to the dry-cleaners, except some outerwear/suits, but for tops that is a no-go, my skin is too sensitive. So I really hope that is not the answer... But if it is I wod still like to know </p>
