Garment Care

How to take care of your clothes and the environment

Taking care of your clothes also means reducing your environmental impact. By following this guide, you can extend the useful life of your garments, save precious resources such as water and energy, and adopt more sustainable habits. Each garment has specific needs: always consult the labels to treat them in the best way.

Practical tips for garment care

1. Full washing machines and delicate cycles

Washing at low temperatures preserves colors and fabrics.
Avoid shrinkage and reduce energy consumption by choosing delicate programs.

2. You prefer to hang your clothes out

The dryer consumes a lot of energy and accelerates the deterioration of fabrics.
Hanging clothes to air out prevents problems such as shrinkage, creases and lint formation.

3. Air out your clothes

It is not always necessary to wash them after each use.
Hanging them outside or brushing them may be enough to freshen them up.

4. Wash clothes inside out

Turning clothes inside out helps preserve colors and protect fabrics.
Maintain the original quality of your garments with this simple trick.

5. Care of knitted garments

Knitted garments may lose their shape if hung vertically.
Lay them out flat and store them folded to keep their shape.
Use delicate cycles or hand wash to maintain elasticity.

6. How to manage pilling

Pilling , or the formation of fiber balls, is a natural phenomenon on wool and cotton.
Reduce it by washing your clothes inside out.
Remove the balls with a lint remover to return the garments to their original condition.

7. Repair your clothes

To extend the life of your clothes, do small household repairs like sewing on buttons, mending seams, or repairing small holes.
If you are not experienced, rely on a professional for more complex repairs or follow creators like @annisartoria or @averyginsberg .
