Colored items do not like washing in hot water and may fade.
How to properly wash colored items
If there are stains, apply detergent directly to the stain before washing.
After washing, immediately remove clothes from the drum. This will prevent "paint migration" if items remain inside the drum.
In what mode is it better to wash colored items
It is better to wash colored bed linen (cotton and linen) at a temperature of 40℃ (not higher than 60℃), and white linen can even be boiled at a temperature of 90 degrees using products with bleaching ingredients.
How to wash colored items by color
It is advisable to wash clothes only of the same or similar shades at the same time, for example, red items together with orange ones, and pink items mixed with light purple.
This is especially important for fabrics with high contrast, otherwise the color will blend very noticeably.
Therefore, it is recommended that you wash them in a separate load containing only whites and white clothes.
Light-colored items in pink, beige, blue and yellow can be washed together, using a delicate detergent if possible.
Dark blue, brown and gray items can also be washed at the same time.
