Once you wear clothes for a while, they will inevitably fade due to washing and exposure to sunlight.

Even if you don't wear clothes that often, they can become discolored by the sun and become unwearable. This is especially true for black clothes, where areas that rub against the skin frequently, such as belts and pockets, can turn white and become very noticeable.

Faded items will not be purchased at recycling shops, so many people have probably used them as loungewear or disposed of them.

Why do clothes fade?

There are several reasons why clothes fade, but the main reasons are:

1. Washing: Washing your clothes can remove dyes and cause color fading, especially if you use harsh washing conditions such as hot water, high temperatures, or the use of bleach or fabric softeners.

2. Sunlight: Exposure to sunlight can discolor or fade the dyes in your clothing, especially if you expose it to sunlight for extended periods of time.

3. Dirt and oxidation in the air: Dirt and oxygen in the air can cause the dyes in your clothes to discolor or fade.

4. Chemicals: Contact with chemicals (for example, deodorants and fabric softeners) can discolor or fade the dyes in your clothes.

These factors can cause clothes to fade, but you can prevent this by paying attention to how you wash and store your clothes.

How to prevent clothes from fading?

Here are some ways to prevent your clothes from fading:

1. Washing Instructions: Follow the instructions on the care label before washing your clothes. Wash in warm water, preferably with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and do not tumble dry.

2. Storage: Always dry your clothes before storing them. It is best to dry them in the shade to avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight.

3. Avoid contact: When wearing clothes, be careful to avoid contact with chemicals (e.g., deodorant, fabric softener, etc.).

By following these methods, you can prevent your clothes from fading. Also, by not throwing away faded clothes, you can remake or re-dye them, which is environmentally friendly and will help you use your clothes for a longer period of time.
