As soon as one buys cotton blouses, shirts, skirts or pants with vibrant colors, soak them immediately in salt solution or vinegar for some hours. After this procedure, rinse it off with water and soap. In the last rinsing, put some drops of vinegar (some 50 ml). This avoids the fading of the garment and makes the colors settle.
One can use a solution of lukewarm soapy water mixed with kitchen salt after the first wash. Then rinse it off with a mixture of cold water and vinegar.
