You know what we’re talking about, right? It’s THE dress! It fits you like a glove, makes you feel confident and beautiful.
But then, just a few washes later, it seems to lose its charm, the fabric starts to look worn, the fit isn’t as perfect anymore and there goes your dopamine hit too. Not if we can help it!
We’re here to share with you five simple clothing hacks that will keep your clothes looking their best all year round, preserving that feeling of excitement and newness forever.
5 Clothing Hacks For A Long-Lasting Wardrobe
1. The Chilly Wash Secret
Don’t use hot water, especially for delicate fabrics like silk and lace. Hot water can shrink and damage the fibres, causing your clothes to lose their shape. Stick to cold water and choose a gentle cycle to protect the fabric. And here’s a handy hack – turn your clothes inside out before washing to protect the outside from getting worn or stretched.
2. Shrinkage be gone
Avoid using a dryer, as the heat can cause shrinkage and damage to the fabric. Instead, opt for air-drying by laying your clothes flat on a clean towel or hanging them on a hanger. This will not only keep your clothes looking new, but also save energy!
3. Tackle stains head on
Stains, the bane of our existence, can easily ruin an outfit. But don’t panic! Act fast and address the stain before it sets in. Use a stain remover or a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water to gently dab the stain. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and damage the fabric.
4. Preserve your denim dreams
We all love a good pair of jeans, but how do we keep them looking their best? To avoid fading, wash your jeans inside out in cold water and hang dry. Avoid putting them in the dryer, as the heat can cause shrinkage and damage to the fabric. If you’re looking to preserve the fit, avoid wearing your jeans too often as the repeated wear and washing can cause them to stretch out.
5. Store ‘em right
Storing your clothes in plastic bags or containers can trap moisture and cause mould and mildew. Instead, use cotton or muslin bags to protect your clothes from dust and moths. Make sure to store your clothes in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat.
These clothing hacks are simple and easy to follow, yet incredibly effective in preserving the newness of your clothes. So go ahead and enjoy your new clothes, knowing they’ll look as good as new for years to come!
