Lint ruins the look of black clothing — especially black T-shirts and hoodies. Black fabric attracts lint, dust, and tiny fibers more than any other color. Here’s how to keep dark clothes smooth, clean, and fresh.
1. Wash Black Clothes Inside Out
Reduces friction that creates lint and fading.
2. Avoid Washing With Lint-Producing Fabrics
Never wash black clothes with:
- Towels
- Blankets
- Fleece
- Wool items
3. Use Cold Water
Cold water keeps lint from clinging and prevents color bleeding.
4. Use Liquid Detergent
Powder detergent leaves tiny residue particles that look like lint.
5. Add Vinegar During Rinse
Vinegar softens fibers → less friction → less lint.
6. Use Dryer Balls
They drastically reduce lint buildup.
7. Air-Dry Whenever Possible
Dryers generate static, which attracts lint. Air-drying reduces buildup significantly.
8. Store Dark Clothes Properly
Use garment bags or dust covers to protect from airborne fibers.
