What is a good detergent to use?

What detergent do you like to use?

I used All and my new dark blue jeans are now faded. Just in one wash too. I used a small amount of soap and used cold water but some of the dye came off.

I like tide. It's the most expensive, but I live by myself and one box lasts 4+ months, so the impact is minimal.

i use extra
it's the cheapest, and it works fine

It might be your jeans. I bet you could take them in for a refund depending on where you bought them.

Jeans ALWAYS fade, get over it. I use Tide.

No sh!t Sherlock. But I would think it would take more then one wash to lose some of its dye.

If you don't want them to fade as quickly, wash them by themselves, in cold water, on the gentle cycle, and invest in some woolite. That's about the only way you can slow the process down.

How many years ago was it that people were paying $100 for faded jeans?

0. It's the OMGWTFULTRAFAD on the east coast.

West coast probably got over it about a year ago.

I guess if I left the apartment on a regular basis I'd see them out there.

I use the cheapest liquid detergent on the shelf I can find. I have never seen significant color fade in jeans after one wash.

Always wash jeans in cold water and make sure they're inside out.
