Care Tips to Extend Garment Life

1 min read

Wash less, air more #

  • Hang clothes outside or in a ventilated room between wears.
  • Spot-clean stains instead of full laundering.

Use gentle cycles and cold water #

  • Cold wash (30 °C) cuts fibre wear by up to 50 %.
  • Select delicate or hand-wash cycles for silks, wools, and knits.

Turn garments inside-out #

  • Protects colours and reduces abrasion on hems and seams.

Skip the tumble dryer #

  • Heat breaks elastane and shrinks cotton.
  • Air-dry flat for knits; hang woven items on padded hangers.

Press with care #

  • Use the correct iron temperature for fabric type.
  • Place a cotton pressing cloth between iron and delicate fabrics to avoid shine.

Store properly #

  • Wide hangers for jackets and coats to keep shoulder shape.
  • Fold heavy knits to prevent stretching; avoid wire hangers for anything tailored.
  • Use breathable garment bags, not plastic, for long-term storage.

Rotate your wardrobe #

  • Wearing the same item day after day accelerates wear points.
  • Give fabric 24 h to relax between wears, especially denim and wool.

Repair early #

  • Fix small seam splits or loose buttons before they widen or fall off.
  • Minor repairs cost less and preserve original fabric.

Follow these habits and you’ll extend the life of your clothes, reduce your environmental footprint, and save money on replacements.
