Do not try Dryell or any other home-based dry cleaning agents... they really are not cleaners, more so they are just "fresheners" that make your clothes smell nice...
This is what we recommended at the Dry Cleaners I worked at for several years... It's worked for me on my black dress pants.

If you're going to air dry them, turn them inside out. I had to hang my clothes to dry on a clothesline for years, turning them inside out really helped to slow the fading process.
