Fast fashion culture in the world of textiles is not at all good for our planet. Fabrics are particularly difficult to recycle, which is why we have to do our best to make our garments last as long as possible. In today's article, we propose some small tricks to make your clothes last longer!
Pay attention to washing
The real secret to making clothes last is to use little soap! A few simple steps are enough to make even the clothes you wear most often last over time.
First, always wash your clothes inside out and sort them by similar colors.
Also, it is important never to wash at too high a temperature: 30° is sufficient for an excellent result.
Always use delicate soaps then, helps to maintain your clothes, but above all use little soap.
You must then pay attention to direct sunlight. Excessive exposure could ruin the most delicate fabrics. If you want to lay them out indirect light, lay them inside out.
A last piece of advice concerns clothes that have lost their shine: it will be necessary to put them in lukewarm water and vinegar, soaking them for a few hours.
wardrobe rotation
Another important tip that may seem trivial is to alternate clothes so that you do not always wear the same thing. In this way, you will prevent them from wearing out. That's why it's essential to create a wardrobe rotation system. Put the clothes you just wore at one end, so that at the other end you will find the ones that haven't come out of the closet in a while. You can be sure you'll find things you forgot you had!
After a tiring day, it's so easy to throw your clothes in a pile on the floor or a chair before slipping into the can but it's important to remember that it only takes a couple more minutes to put your clothes in the hamper, closet or drawers and thus extend their life!
If you have space at the end of the season store your winter/summer clothes inside boxes or in a secondary closet making sure you wash them all thoroughly first. This will allow your current clothes enough room to breathe while keeping the ones you don't wear in excellent condition.
Finally, remember how important it is today to buy less, better and make it last longer!
