We all love a shopping-haul, especially when we pick up the odd bargain or two! However, when the aim is to be a little more sustainable, maintaining the quality of clothing is forgotten about…. But don’t worry, we are going to share 6 tips that promise your clothes will last longer.
- Always Check the Labels
Many of us forget to check the labels on our clothes. However, you will be pleasantly surprised that these labels often hold valuable information about taking care of the clothes, i.e., washing the item and the material source. This is the first step to looking after your preloved items! - Hand Wash Your Clothes
When you start hand-washing your clothes, you will notice your clothes will last longer, especially if you purchase preloved clothes that may already seem faded. Hand-washing is a gentle way to clean your clothes and a great way to reduce your energy usage. - Use Eco-friendly Products
If you hand-wash or machine-wash your clothes, it’s advisable to use non-toxic products that are kinder to the environment. This is better for the planet and gentle on promoting longevity for your clothes. - Hang Your Clothes Up
For maximum usage ensure you hang up your clothes on the right hangers, although this may seem obvious, sometimes clothes end up on the floor; therefore, more exposed to being damaged. The more you get into a routine, the better care for your preloved items.
