As we all know keeping your wardrobe up to date can be costly, however if you adopt some key practices you can maximise the life span of your existing wardrobe. Below is some key tips on how take care of your clothes.
Clothing do’s
Check you’re garments for stains, smells and lint when you take them off. If the garment seems clean, hang it up and wear it again. Excessive washing can reduce the quality of garments.
Use quality hangers, as this ensures you’re clothes maintain their shape.
Always follow the cleaning instructions, on the label of garments.
Always sort clothes before washing and always wash light, darks and coloured clothes separately.
Always iron clothes on the appropriate heat settings, as an iron too hot can burn/ruin material.
Clothing don’ts
Don’t over crowd your wardrobe as this crushes your garments, which then means you will need to iron them which further strains the material.
Don’t leave spots or stains to set in garments, always treat them as soon as possible.
Don’t use too much detergent when washing your garments, as it weakens the material and can cause skin irritation.
