- Wash clothes less frequently. If an item isn’t actually dirty, but just needs freshening up – hang it outside on the washing line or in a steamy bathroom.
- Wash in cold water to reduce shrinkage and colour fading.
- Read the care labels!
- Wash dark items inside out as this helps to prevent fading.
- Avoid overfilling the washing machine as this can cause friction and damage fibres.
- Air dry rather than in a hot tumble dryers.
- Don’t overfill your wardrobe.
- Use wooden or padded hangers to prevent garments from becoming misshapen.
