I have a lot of things, my profession obliges. Clothes are made from different fabrics, and you have to take care of some wardrobe items in a special way. Often acquaintances and clients who have known me for a long time ask how I manage to wear the same things for so long (and from the budget segment) and at the same time they look like new.
I will tell you how I properly care for clothes so that they remain in their original form for a long time.
Let's start with proper storage:
(by the way, when sorting out wardrobes, I often see that many girls store their things incorrectly)
• Sweaters, jumpers, knitted turtlenecks should be stored folded. Otherwise, the force of gravity on the hangers will do its job - your favorite blouses and warm sweaters will stretch, and ugly creases from any, even the coolest, hanger will appear in the shoulder area;
• Silk and satin tops, on the contrary, are hung on soft hangers and stored in thin cotton covers;
• T-shirts, longsleeves, sportswear, jeans can be stored in neatly folded piles - nothing will happen to them;
• Dresses and skirts, of course, are also hung on hangers and make sure that the hemlines do not touch the floor.
Now, briefly about the most important thing: proper washing.
• We fasten all zippers and buttons before washing, so we will protect things from puffs and damage;
• Do not use too much powder so that the fabric does not accumulate it (the correct dosage is always written on the package). Otherwise, things will fade and become dirty faster (you can earn dermatitis in this way);
• It is better to wash sports jackets, overalls with impregnation, clothes for any kind of sport with a special liquid (!) Detergent and do not add conditioner. Otherwise, the technological fabric will lose its properties;
• Do not forget to look at the labels - they always indicate at what maximum temperature the item can be washed. Otherwise, we can get out of the washing machine instead of our favorite jeans - “barbie size” pants :).
• To preserve the original color of the garment, it is important to choose the right hair washing product.
I wash things only with liquid products and I really love the Russian household chemicals Synergetic - they have a large selection of products for all types of fabrics, and the composition is pleasant, without unnecessary "chemosis".
For white, I use a gel that helps to maintain snow-whiteness, although they say that a white shirt is a must-have of any wardrobe, but if it is already a little gray, it will definitely not save the image :)
Now on Yandex. Market 50% discount on Synergetic, I recommend this gel for white, I bought it for my mother and now she whitens the tulle only with it:
For black clothes, it is also better to use a special liquid product. This will help the fabric stay bright longer and of a normal black shade, and not gray-brown, as it happens after three washes with regular powder.
I have a long-standing habit of washing things “on the way out” by hand. Yes, I know that now there are special modes in washing machines, but they still spoil things. Therefore, I put on household gloves, take Synergetic for delicate fabrics and do not wash, but as Rogov instructs, I take good care of it :)
A reverent attitude towards our favorite things is good for our wallet and for the environment. Do you agree?
Thanks for stopping by.
Sincerely, Oksana
