- Wash your clothes in cold water. Hot water can cause colors to fade and fabrics to shrink.
- Avoid overloading the washing machine. Too much laundry can cause your clothes to rub against each other, which can lead to pilling and damage.
- Don't leave wet clothes in the washer for too long. Leaving them in the washer for too long can cause mildew to form.
- Hang clothes to dry. Hang-drying your clothes will help them last longer and will also save energy.
- Don't iron clothes too often. Ironing can cause fabric to weaken over time.
- Use fabric softener. Fabric softener can help reduce static cling, wrinkles, and pilling.
- Stay away from the dryer. The high heat of a dryer can cause colors to fade and fabric to shrink.
- Store clothes in an airtight container. Storing your clothes in an airtight container will help prevent them from getting damaged by dust and moisture.
- Invest in quality items. Quality items will last longer than cheaper items. It pays to invest in quality clothing that you can wear for years.
