Laundry Detergent for Black Clothes?

[Palmetto Lady]

I just received my July issue of Consumers Report. It says "whatever detergent you buy, be aware that brighteners for whiter-looking whites can over-whiten cream-colored fabrics and turn dark colors gray". I therefore assume that the detergent for dark colored clothes does not contain brighteners.

I dunno..assume nothing..I washed a black top with the vinegar and regular detergent and I swear it even looked "blacker"

 

I sorta like this thread..am learning a lot!
