HELP!: Delicate colors/fabrics

**Xpensyv_Bodi** · 09-25-2005, 04:30 AM

..some of our traditional attires made of batik..adire(tie-dye)...and so on look so beautiful,

but the colors runs once u dip them in water. I've been told to add salt while rinsing...but I didn't see any difference.

how do y'all handle such materials....especially ur traditional attires? or do u only send 'em to cleaners?

haba

Hollandis na totally a diffrent dye and material. Ofcource holandis don't fade but the naija Abada by UAC or NIchemtex etc fade sometimes

i know about the salt thing but e no dey work, they say make u taste da fabric before u buy, if its bitter it is good dye.

oh well machine can do da job sometimes, hadn wash wil definetly make it run
