At qwerwear, we believe caring for your clothes is key to sustainable fashion. Follow these tips to keep your garments looking their best:
1. Sort Laundry by Type
- Separate dark, light, and white clothes to prevent color transfer.
- Special fabrics like wool and silk require special detergents and cold water.
2. Use Your Washing Machine Properly
- Use cold water settings to minimize shrinkage and color fading.
- Choose gentle cycles to protect the fibers.
3. Avoid Overwashing
Clothes like jeans and outerwear don’t need frequent washing; use fabric fresheners instead.
4. Choose the Right Detergent
- Use bleach-free detergents, especially for vibrant colors.
- Opt for eco-friendly detergents to protect clothes and the environment.
5. Treat Stains Immediately
- Address stains promptly by blotting with cold water and using appropriate stain removers.
- Avoid hot water, which can set the stain further.
6. Dry Clothes Correctly
- Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading or stiffening of fabrics.
- Hang clothes on appropriate hangers or lay them flat to maintain their shape.
7. Iron Carefully
- Follow the temperature guidelines on clothing labels.
- Place a thin cloth over the fabric to protect it from direct heat.
8. Store Clothes Smartly
- Use suitable hangers to avoid deforming shoulders.
- Fold knitwear instead of hanging to prevent stretching.
9. Prevent Moths and Moisture
- Use moth repellents or moisture absorbers to keep your wardrobe fresh.
- Ensure your closet is well-ventilated to avoid mold.
10. Repair Minor Damage
- Fix small tears or loose buttons yourself to prolong the life of your garments.
- Highlight your brand’s after-sales services, like repair or cleaning.
