To prevent fading, wash black duds in cold water using a detergent specially designed for darks. Extend time between washings of black jeans by placing them in a plastic bag in the freezer to kill odors. Remove deodorant stains from black tops by wetting the area, covering it with salt, and letting it stand for a couple of hours before washing. And if your clothes do fade, don’t drive yourself crazy digging for a slightly more faded pair of black leggings to wear with a slightly more faded top. Life’s too short to match blacks. For a witch, it all counts.
