Have you ever found yourself involved in a laundry disaster? Most of us have, but it’s not just clothes shrinking in the wash you need to be wary of – colour runs and clothes losing their brightness are just as annoying.
With summer around the corner, it’s that time of the year when we bring out our brighter clothes from the wardrobe, while you may be looking to update the colour scheme in your home for the new season. So when it comes to laundry, it’s more important than ever to take care when washing clothes, pillow cases, throws, bedding, curtains and towels.
Multi-coloured items such as striped bedding and patterned fabrics are especially prone to losing their colour, but with the help and advice from Dr. Beckmann’s Marketing Director, Susan Fermor, you will be able to wash your colours with complete confidence.

With summer around the corner, it’s that time of the year when we bring out our brighter clothes from the wardrobe, while you may be looking to update the colour scheme in your home for the new season. So when it comes to laundry, it’s more important than ever to take care when washing clothes, pillow cases, throws, bedding, curtains and towels.
Multi-coloured items such as striped bedding and patterned fabrics are especially prone to losing their colour, but with the help and advice from Dr. Beckmann’s Marketing Director, Susan Fermor, you will be able to wash your colours with complete confidence.
Susan recommends using specialist colour sheets with every wash when mixing colours, such as Dr. Beckmann’s Colour and Dirt Collector. When you put your regular wash on, colour and dirt from the items is released into the water and can end up back on your clothes. However, the Dr. Beckmann Colour and Dirt Collector sheets are designed with special micro-fibres, to collect any stray dirt and absorb the loose dye, meaning everything stays protected and the colours remain bright and vibrant. We know that family life is busier than ever, so keeping things simple and taking your time is the best way to ensure your clothes don’t get ruined. Using a Colour and Dirt Collector sheet is as easy as one, two, three; simply pop the sheet into the wash and remove once the cycle has ended.
