Do you want your favorite clothes to last longer? Caring for your wardrobe using clean and sustainable methods extends the life of your garments, reduces waste, and minimizes exposure to harmful chemicals. This week, we’re focusing on sustainable care techniques to keep your clothes fresh, clean, and looking their best.
Step 1: Wash Smarter, Not Harder
Washing clothes too often or with harsh detergents can cause fading and fabric damage. Instead, try these tips:
- Use cold water to preserve fabric and color.
- Choose an eco-friendly detergent free from synthetic fragrances and dyes.
- Wash only when necessary—air out lightly worn clothes instead.
Step 2: Ditch the Dryer
The heat from dryers can break down fibers, leading to shrinkage and wear. Extend clothing life by:
- Air-drying clothes on a rack or line to reduce energy use and prevent shrinkage.
- Using Norwex Wool Dryer Balls when a dryer is necessary—they can help extend the life of your clothes by avoiding chemical coatings.
- Removing clothes promptly to minimize wrinkles and reduce ironing.
Step 3: Natural Stain Removal
Skip the harsh chemicals and remove stains the natural way:
- Norwex Stain Remover works on tough stains without toxic ingredients.
- A mix of baking soda and water lifts stains gently.
- Norwex Ultra Power Plus, when mixed with water at a ratio of 1 teaspoon to 16 ounces in a spray bottle, is a great alternative stain remover.
Step 4: Smart Storage for Longer Wear
How you store your clothes can impact their longevity. Try these methods:
- Fold knits to prevent stretching; hang structured pieces.
- Use padded or wooden hangers to maintain garment shape.
- Keep clothes fresh with Norwex Odour Eliminator diluted with water in a spray bottle.
