HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CLOTHES AND KEEP THEM LONGER.
~3.9 mins read
Clothing is one of the necessaries in a person's life after food and shelter. It is simply the act of puting clothes on. Clothes are a wide variety of materials made with fabrics, animal hair or skin used to cover the human body for warmth, to preserve modesty and for fashion (according to English Dictionary version 2.1.2).
From the above definition, it is clear that clothes are of a great significance to human beings, as it's provides warmth for the human body, preserves modesty and also improves and displays taste of fashion of everyone. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that we care for our clothes as much as we care for ourselves and always endeavor to keep them in a neat and long lasting state.
Taking good care of an item of clothing depends largely on the owner's ability(to repair and maintain) and willingness(to wear repeatedly) that particular item of clothing. Surely, good care and maintenance of clothes increases their lifespan in the owner's wardrobe.
Also, research has it that keeping clothes longers through good care and maintenance has positive effects to both the owner of the clothes and the environment. Keeping your clothes longer can help to dramatically reduce the emissions that occur during a piece of clothings life cycle; extending the active life of a piece of clothing by just nine months can significantly reduce its environmental impact, while the emissions of a piece of clothing can be reduced by 24% over the year by doubling its useful life from one to two years.
Taking good care of our clothes can not be overemphasized and below are THE SIX COOL WAYS of maintaining our clothes in a good shape.
1. WASH LESS
Washing garments frequently causes damage to the fibres therefore reducing the lifespan of the item of clothing. This is evidently seen in dry cleaning where both dirty and less dirty clothes are washed with heavy harmful chemicals which flatten the natural fibres in some of the fabrics.
The simple way of preventing frequent washing of clothes is to take good care of less dirty clothes. This means that if a garment is not dirty( after being worn), instead of sliding it into the dirty clothes basket/bin, it's should be freshened up. Freshening of less dirty clothes is done by hanging the clothes outside or in a steamy bathroom for it to breathe out the sweat and still be wearable with deodorant without washing.
2. PAY ATTENTION TO CARE LABELS
Different materials need different approaches to laundering. The different methods of laundry for fabrics are always prescribed on the care labels of an item of clothing. The written instructions advises one on how best to wash and care for that particular garment, either by prescribing the needed temperature for washing, storing the clothing material, style of Washing(hand wash or dry cleaning) etc.
For example, delicate materials like silk and cashmere are vulnerable to damage when washed with harsh chemicals, detergent or heat. Paying careful attention to care labels helps clothes owners to better care for their clothes and keep them in a long lasting state.
3. WASH INSIDE-OUT
This is a simple way of caring for clothes during laundry. Washing garments inside-out helps in squeezing out dirts and germs both on the inside of the material (which comes in contact directly with your body) and outside (which associates with external objects).
4. AIR DRY
There's nothing more refreshing for clothing materials than having them air dried on a washing line after laundry. Air drying does not just give a piece of clothing a great smell but it's also better for your clothes and planet than tumble drying which uses a lot of energy to run and can damage certain fibres.
Air drying of clothes can be done by hanging clothes outside after washing either on a washing line, drying rack or on hangers to air dry. Also, it is advisable to check care labels as some fabrics require a particular style of air drying. For example, wollen joggers is better dried flat.
5. STORE PROPERLY
Proper storage of clothes can adequately increase the lifespan of the material. It is always advisable to store clothes in a cool and dry place to prevent it from damp, sunlight, heat which can damage the clothing materials. Most importantly, clothes should be properly washed and dried, air dried, before storage. If not, the storing of clothes( which are either dirty or wet) will attract moths thereby causing damage to your dresses.
It's also important that we do not overfull our wardrobe as clothes needs breathing space. Spacing between clothes in wardrobe helps in preventing wrinkling and colour loss of clothes. Also when hanging clothes, use wooden or padded hangers to further protect clothes from becoming misshapen.
6. REPAIR DAMAGE
Always repair damage to a garment when first noticed. This will not only keep the item out of landfill and in a wearable state, but it's also increases the lifespan of the item as the damage will likely get worse over time if left unresolved.
The above six ways are very helpful in caring for your clothes and also keeping them in a long lasting state. I suggest you all, try these ways out of better caring and maintaining our items of clothes.
