RE: Putting Color Back Into Black Garments
I've got my black short pants washed and one portion of the black turned greenish. It could be the caused of the washing powder gathered at that spot during washing. Any tips to reinstate the black colour? Need some help here because I just bought those pants. :(

I have a jacket and it has black and white. What can I use to bring the black back but also keep the white?

Try using soya sauce and water!
My mother used to do that do my fathers black socks. Put the black right back in them!

Hey. I'd like to turn this discussion on it's head and ask...
How do I make my black jeans fade to grey? I know there's the obvious suggestions, like consistent washing, but does anyone have any tips to get this done in a speedier fashion?

old fashioned tried and true method of "setting" colours is to soak garment in salt water few hours then wash normally in warm,sudsy water. I just did that to a bright blue print blouse and it worked very well for me..

RE: Putting Color Back Into Black Garments
I'd suggest washing on delicate cycles, turning the items inside out, using 'black' friendly detergents(color-safe or Fewa Black Magic), and drying on low heat or hanging. I have numerous pairs of black jeans and black shirts/jackets that I've managed to keep from graying just being a little careful when washing. I've redyed several items but the dyes wash out much faster than the mfg's original and the hot water requirement makes some items shrink too much.

A LARGE PART OF MY WARDROBE IS BLACK AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM - I SUGGEST YOU DYE THEM WITH RIT CLOTHING DYE USING THE HOTTEST WATER POSSIBLE AND ONLY A COUPLE OF ARTICLES PER PACKAGE OF DYE. ALSO, WHEN WASHING THE DYED ARTICLES IN THE FUTURE USE COLD WATER ONLY AND DO NOT WASH THE DYED ARTICLES WITH OTHER CLOTHING FOR SEVERAL WASHES AS THE COLOR WILL FADE ONTO OTHER CLOTHING - THIS WILL BRIGHTEN THEM UP AGAIN - GOOD LUCK

RIT dye works FAB!!!! Don't forget to turn your black clothes inside out when washing as well!
