Keeping your clothing fresh is not always easy, but it doesn’t have to be hard, either. Here are some tips to help keep your clothing looking and smelling its best.
- Wash your clothes regularly. Make sure to read the care labels on your clothing items and follow the washing instructions. For delicate items, hand washing is usually best.
- Invest in a good quality detergent. Choose a detergent that is designed for your type of clothing and is gentle on the fabric.
- Make sure to rinse your clothing completely. Residual detergent can make your clothing look dull and can cause it to smell.
- Hang up your items to dry. If you must use the dryer, use it in a low-heat setting. This will help to preserve the shape and texture of the fabric.
- Store items properly. Keep your clothing in a cool, dry place and make sure to use fabric-friendly hangers.
- Air out your clothing. If possible, hang your items outside for a few hours after wearing them. This will help to remove any odours from your clothing.
- Use baking soda. Before washing, sprinkle baking soda on heavily soiled items. This will help to remove any odours and dirt.
- Use vinegar. Add a cup of white vinegar to your wash cycle to help remove any odours and keep your clothing looking fresh.
Following these tips will help keep your clothing looking and smelling its best. If you take care of your clothing, it will last longer and look better longer.
