Default Re: Keeping blacks black

If you REALLY want to keep those blacks dark... there's always dry cleaning!!! But if you don't want to spend $6.00 just to wash a pair of pants, hand wash your jeans in COLD water with as little soap as possible. Air dry is preferred, but at least allow time to get most of the water out before you put them in your dryer.

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.
