Extend the life of your wardrobe with these simple garment care techniques — from washing to storage.
Proper garment care is the difference between a piece that lasts one season and one that lasts years. It is also better for the environment — reducing waste and the need for frequent replacements.
Store items in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use cedar blocks instead of mothballs for a natural pest deterrent. Fold knitwear — hanging can distort the shape.
Cotton: Machine wash cold, tumble dry low Silk: Hand wash or dry clean only Wool: Hand wash cold, lay flat to dry Linen: Machine wash gentle, air dry
A little care goes a long way. Treat your clothes well, and they will serve you beautifully for years to come.
