Extending the life of your clothes requires proper care. Here are some practical tips for looking after your clothes and keeping them looking as good as new.
Why good care is crucial to extending your clothes’ lives
Regular, careful care prevents premature wear and keeps your clothes looking their best for longer. By adopting simple reflexes, you'll save money while preserving your wardrobe.
Best practices for washing and caring for your clothes
Limit washing to preserve fibres
Only wash your clothes when necessary. Every wash weakens clothing fibres, especially with delicate fabrics. Air your clothes after wearing them to avoid frequent washing.
Choose the right detergent
Use mild detergents adapted to each fabric. For example, use a special detergent for wool or silk clothes. These specific detergents preserve the quality of fibres while cleaning your clothes effectively.
Avoid the tumble dryer
Tumble drying can cause clothes to shrink and become misshapen. Air dry as much as possible, taking care to hang your clothes properly to avoid creases.
Intelligent storage: how to avoid storage damage
Store your clothes on hangers to avoid creases, and make sure your storage space is well ventilated. For folded clothes, turn them inside out before folding to reduce friction. Avoid overloading your drawers and wardrobes, as this can crush fabrics and cause distortion.
Professional care for delicate clothes
Give your delicate clothes a professional cleaning from time to time, especially fabrics such as wool, silk or embroidery. This will help them last longer by cleaning them using the appropriate techniques.
Using a steamer
The steamer is an essential ally for gently caring for your clothes. Unlike an iron, it doesn't crush fibres and removes creases without burning fabrics or making them shiny, preserving their quality.
