Maintaining your clothes isn’t just about washing them; it’s about the small habits that prevent wear and tear. Here are five secrets from the experts at FreshSpin Laundry:
- Wash Less Frequently: Unless clothes are visibly dirty or smelly, don’t wash them after every single wear. Over-washing is the #1 killer of fabric fibers.
- Turn Inside Out: Always wash your brightly colored or printed clothes inside out to prevent fading and cracking.
- Use Cold Water: Most modern detergents work perfectly in cold water, which is much gentler on fabrics like cotton and wool.
- Air Dry When Possible: High heat from dryers can shrink clothes and break down elastic fibers. Air drying is the safest way to maintain fit.
- Invest in Quality Hangers: Wooden or padded hangers prevent “shoulder bumps” and maintain the structure of your jackets and shirts.
