The top six colorfastness tests 5

Do you remember the clips from ‘Friends’ that

Rachel puts all the clothes together into the

washer but finds all the white clothes become

pink after laundry?

It is interesting and memorable.

It is the problem of washing colorfastness.

If you put a garment with poor washing

colorfastness performance with other light

color clothes into washer together, you will

face with the same problem.
