The best care practices for your clothes will vary by garment, so it is essential to always read the care label before washing. Here are some general guidelines to help you care for and extend the life of your garments:
Air out your clothes as much as possible instead of washing them after every use. Wash your garments at the lowest temperatures possible, either by hand or on a delicate and low spin cycle. Protect delicate pieces by placing them in laundry bags when washing them in the machine. Air dry your clothes whenever possible instead of using the dryer—this is gentler on your garments and consumes less energy. Spot-treat stains rather than washing the entire garment. Repair your garments when they break instead of replacing them. There is satisfaction in sewing a button or re-stitching a seam. Give others a chance to buy it secondhand or donate it when you are done with a garment. By following these guidelines, you can help maintain the quality and longevity of your clothes, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.
