what is the best laundry detergent to boost colors?

Rebbecca Sorkin: What laundry detergent are you using?For my colored clothes I use Tide and for darks ie... denim black clothing I use Woolite extra care for dark clothing. Both detergents keep my clothes true to color and they do not fade. Make sure you turn black clothes inside out and wash with cold water. Also if you hang dry this prevents fading as well... take those steps along with investing in some good detergent and you will no longer have faded clothes... :)...Show more

Sylvie Snetting: After your colors are already fading there is not much you can do. You can use an all-color bleach like Clorox 2 added to your wash and get some sparkle out of your wash, but don't expect miracles. Clothes have to be maintained properly to keep their colors intact. This means washing colors in cold water, and whites in warm/hot water using chlorine bleach.20 Mule Team Borax is another additive that will boost colors. Use as directed on the box or your washing machine.Good l! uck!...Show more
