Fantastic 4 Running Time

Was dying my clothes better than buying new?

I had a chance with my kids school shirts (red and blue polo shirts) and they were in very good condition a little faded from washing. I bought paint to freshen them instead of buying new ones now that look fantastic. environmental issue .. Was better to buy new? I had to run the washing machine three times (once to dye, one for washing and rinsing and the last to clean the machine) with just 10 polo shirts in it. My sewage runs in a huge septic tank so that should not enter water (rivers, etc.). But how do you think stands against buying a new that has been done and carried three or four times?

I like dying my clothes, but I guess it's true that much water and energy is necessary to have a crisp, clear colors. what I do to solve this problem is simple. instead of using the washing machine to paint, I use a large pot (like, read more than you can get your hands on, like a bear or even higher if you can) add enough water to the pot so that your clothing is covered, and place it on low heat on the stove. add a quarter cup of salt (to fix the color) that you dilute the dye in a cup or so of cold water and add it to the pan. add clothes. simmer (well. .. you know what I mean) for an hour or so, stirring from time to time to ensure a uniform color. After that, take clothes and let them sit in a bath of cold water for a while, and rinse until water runs clear. voila!
