they sell laundry detergent made especially for dark clothing, try that
Wash black t-shirts without other colors in small amount of cold water.
wash the black tee shirts inside out all by themselves in cold water and hang them up to dry out of sunlight.
Add about a 1/2 cup of salt in the water, this will help set dye on cotton.
try washing them wrong side out in Cheer dark
they will fade anyway…just not as fast
I have hard water in my apt-I seek out places to wash my black clothes so the water doesn’t beat them to grey. If I must wash at home I use cheer dark or woolite dark and to soften the water I use borax or calgon water softener. If your pals in a house he can have the water tested, a water softener machine is a brilliant investment-helps skin, hair, clothes.
