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.

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

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.

Life sucks. Oh well.

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. :confused:

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