Answer

In the name of Allah the Creator of All

I have never heard anything about weather washing clothes will prevent black magic. For such Magic to be done it is necessary to know the name of the person who it is to be done on. You have nothitng to fear.

One of things, which Shariah has taught, is to recite Surah Al-Falaq in the morning and evening. Further to this there is a Dua which I learnt from my teachers which is
Bismilllahil Lazee La ya durruh Ma ah ismihee Shiun fil Ar dih wa laa fis samaaee wa hu ws sami ul aleem.

This should be read three or seven times or eleven times every morning and evening.
The other good protection from Evil is the recitation for Surah Falaq and Surah An-Naas.
We should always trust in Allah and realise that all good and bad is from Allah. Even if someone is wasting away their Iman and fixing a place in Hell for themselves by practicing the evil disgusting art of black magic (Jadu) and sorcery. As Muslims and followers of Rasulullah we should adhere to the methods and ways shown to us by Our Prophet. We ourselves should keep out Imaan and Hearts strong and not worry about doing the right thing when it is necessary. In this case the sending of clothes to India is a good thing but mere thoughts are preventing one from carrying the deed out.

And Allah knows best
