8 Fabric Care Hacks to Love your Clothes Longer

Your clothes work hard for you, especially those high rotation favorites. Regular wear and tear, weekly trips through the wash, plus a tumble in the dryer all take their toll on fabrics. Here are 8 surefire ways to save your faves from looking like faves.

1) Always follow the labels, always

You know that itchy care label sewn to the inside of your new favorite sweater? Before removing it, commit this info to memory. These labels provide consumers with the basic information required to care for their clothes. Heed the manufacturer's warnings and you'll get more wears out of your favorite items.

2) If machine washing, set to the gentlest cycle

Washing machines use water, detergent and agitation (i.e.: friction) to remove dirt, stains and odors from textiles. Friction is a major contributor to pilling; by setting your machine to the gentlest cycle, you'll expose your garments to less friction with every wash. As a result, you can keep pills at bay for even longer.

3) Use a mild detergent

Regular laundry detergents can contain chemicals that harm delicate fibers (not to mention your health). Opt for a green, all natural liquid wash that's safe for all of your laundry.

4) Cold water wash

Washing your garments in cold water, is not only effective at lifting dirt and stains, it's safer for your clothes. It's also safer for the environment, reducing the energy required for each load by up to 90%.

5) Wash your garments separately

This one's a biggie. Not only should you sort your laundry by color, but also by type. For example, wash stretchy knits with other knits; wash towels with other towels. NEVER combine the two or you run the risk of creating a pilly catastrophe. Similarly, wash fleece-lined sweatshirts separately; these garments shed and they can permanently embed themselves into other textiles.

6) Turn garments inside out

Turning garments inside out before washing not only reduces friction (and therefore pilling), it also helps to prevent color fading, especially for darker items. 

7) Use a shorter wash time

The less time your clothes spend in the machine, the better. Consider how soiled the load is and select the shortest time setting possible to effectively clean it. This is especially true for knits and permanent press items.

8) Skip the dryer

Dryers are fast and convenient but this high heat and high friction environment is not suitable for all garments. Save dryer use for pajamas, sheets or towels and skip them altogether when it comes to knits. To cut down on dryer time and amplify softness, try our Dryer Dots, a natural fabric softener. Avoid both dryer sheets and liquid fabric softeners; the chemical residues that they leave behind can affect the longevity and performance of your fabrics.

Hello Everyone I want to quickly use this medium to share a testimony on how i was directed to a Legit and real illuminati member who have transformed my life from grass to grace, from being poor to a rich woman who can now boast of a healthy and wealthy life without stress or financial difficulties. After so many months of trying to to be a member of the illuminati and was scammed the sum of $3,000 i became so desperate in being a member online who will not add to my pains, then i decided to contact a friend of mine who recently became a member, we discussed about the issue and to our conclusion she told me about a man called Paul mark who is the grand master in the illuminati. So i applied to become a member of illuminati easily without stress and all the preparations were made concerning how to become a member in two(2) days i became a member and the sum of 5 million dollars was deposited into my bank account so i want to advice any one who wants to become a member should call him +2349130700648 or WhatsApp him +2349130700648 or email (illuminatiworldoffamous@gmail.com) he does not know am doing this i pray that lucifer will bless him for the good things he has done in my life

THIS IS REAL. I REPEAT, THIS IS REAL. The black mirror is real, the black mirror is really powerful, effective and 100% reliable. My name is Walter Brian, I want to thank Dada Magical for giving his black mirror to me. Since he gave me his black mirror, I became rich, successful, protected, informed and powerful. I was browsing through the internet one day when I saw multiple testimonies on how Dada Magical has helped so many people with his black mirror.
