Apart from the fact that you should be careful when picking the clothing pieces that will enrich your wardrobe taking
into account every single detail and aspect, you should also be just as attentive when caring for them later. Caring for clothing is really important because most of the time you buy clothing not for just one day! So here we are going to present the basic tips and tricks that form the most comprehensive list of things you should do in order toHow to Care for Silk Clothes
3. One more thing that you should remember is that silk fabrics should not be exposed to the change of temperature of the water while washing. So if you started with one temperature, then don’t change it for anything else somewhere in the middle. 7. Ironing is another really important aspect of caring for silk and you need to make sure that the setting is low and the steam is turned off, since both in case of high setting and steam you risk getting irreversible stains on your fave pieces of clothing. Also you should remember to iron the pieces, while still damp.
14. One more thing we would suggest you doing is using hand washing instead of using the washing machine. This is really a better alternative for keeping the garments clean and fresh and avoiding early fading. However, if you do need to wash them with the washing machine adjust the setting on the lowest heat setting possible.
18. Another curious technique you may use with denim is about the correct size. It’s about finding the right size if you don’t have time to try them on in the fitting room. So what you may do is practice the neck method according to which you need to put the waistband of the jeans around the diameter of your neck and see whether it suits loose or comfortably.
22. Using things like salad spinner is a really good idea for making cashmere sweaters dry quicker. If you don’t have one, there’s no problem since you can always use the tested and effective method of laying it on a flat surface and pressing the water out of it using a towel. In this way you will be able to preserve the shape and make it dry quickly due to the removal of water.
26. When using a deodorant, you should wait until it dries before you put on the sweater. This way you will avoid getting stains and the scent of the deodorant on the sweater, and this is in fact important because further you will have really hard times removing all these from your sweater. The same goes true of perfume, too.
30. Finally, you should also keep your sweaters as far from heat sources and windows as possible when storing them. When being subjected to heat or wind, they really have great chances of losing their shapes and becoming unusable. 34. As for ironing, you need to iron your cashmere sweaters inside out on low heat, of course, or just use steaming which is a more preferable option, because you exclude the impact of direct heating with the help of which you have fresher and more beautiful looks for your pieces.The following range of tips we would like to suggest goes for cotton pieces, which are no less attention-requiring and delicate, especially when it comes to pieces like shirts and tops.
38. Despite the fact that we recommend warm water for cotton pieces in general, you can still use hot water for bleaching in case you need to remove some particular stains. Still, you shouldn’t go too far with rubbing and washing especially for the problematic areas. And, of course, this goes for white pieces only.
42. When you pick viscose pieces you should focus on options having soft and smooth silky texture with shine like poplin. These details mean that the piece is stronger and will preserve the good looks longer than those, which do not have these specifications. 46. You may also lay the pieces on a flat surface and dry them that way again contributing to the process of drying and avoiding shape loss effectively. You can also use some pressing in order to remove the water from the fibers and let the pieces dry easily.
50. One of the most effective ways of cleaning a leather piece is simply using a damp cloth. Since leather is not the type of material, which holds dirt or stains easily, especially the darker tones, you can simply wipe off the dirt and dust with the help of a simple damp cloth. 54. What you shouldn’t ever do is using a hair dryer to dry wet leather pieces since it only makes the condition of leather worse, contributing to the loss of shape and proper texture shine.
58. As for keeping leather pieces including such options as belts, one thing that we should note is that you should not store them folded or draped. 62. As for drying, you need a low temperature for it, and a moderately warm iron if you need that, too. However strong and steady may the fabric be, still you should not expose it to too high temperatures neither for washing nor for drying.
66. One thing you need to bear in mind about wool pieces is that they should be given a day of rest after each day of wear in order to preserve the shapes and looks. You may also treat them with a lint or suede brush after each time of wearing them in order to remove the surface soil and lint. 70. As for the cleaning time, we would recommend cleaning your wool pieces at the beginning and at the end of the colder season, with the help of which you will remove the accumulated perfume, smoke, and dust out of the pieces and will be able to keep them safe and soft for the season, which has come or is still to come.
74. Bleaching or using hot water are two impermissible things that you should absolutely exclude from your daily activities. The reason is that both are disastrous for this fabric and looks of the wool pieces, completely reshaping them and changing the natural colors. As for cold water, it can perform the contrary effect, making the pieces suddenly shrink. So keep the golden average here, too.
78. The very first thing that we would like to speak about when discussing velvet pieces is that you should look at the label and the tag before doing anything with your velvet clothes. If the label says that the piece should be dry-cleaned, it means that’s a special type of velvet. If not, however, that most probably means that the pieces are a type like the crushed velvet, which should or can also be washed using the washing machine.
82. As for storing your velvet clothes, you should remember not to store them folded because this will create creases and folds, which will be too hard to remove. So instead of folding, you should just tuff the items with tissue paper and lay it in a flat position on special boxes for clothes. 86. If there are some oil stains on the fur options of pieces, you may get rid of them with the help of the mixture of ammonia, dropping a tsp. of it into half liters of water and three tsp. of salt.
90. In addition, you should also try to pick as wide hangers for your fur coats as possible, in order to preserve the good shapes and the nice looks of your pieces. 94. Do not try to iron the fur pieces with hot iron from either side. The least temperature influence may harm the texture and the structure of the fur pieces.
98. As for washing linen pieces, we may note that the basic problem that you might happen to face with other pieces being the danger of having misshaped and deformed clothes after the washing cycle does not persist in case of linen options, since the pieces made of this material are comparably steadier and stronger allowing you to wash them both manually and using the washing machine.
103. Clean your suede pieces with a rough rubberized fabric from time to time, paying more attention to such areas, as collars, pockets or sleeves.105. You need to iron suede clothing inside out, making sure you use some kind of thin cloth. At the end of the ironing, clean the suede piece brushing it.
109. You can rinse suede clothing in water with vinegar , which will make your suede clothing become softer. 113. You can certainly care for your suede pieces at home, however, it’s recommended taking your suede pieces to specialized dry-cleaners once a year, to make sure they preserve their fresh looks.
118. In addition, you should also pay attention to the period, during which you wear a certain type of underwear. For instance, you should replace your everyday bras every six months, after which they generally lose their natural shape and elasticity. Also be sure not to wear the same bra for more than two days, since after that the pieces need some time to regain their shape and looks.119.
123. The only case when we do recommend using the washing machine for swimwear is when you plan to keep the swimwear for the coming summer. In this case you may wash your swimwear in special lingerie bags being sure to choose the gentle cycle. Of course, you should do this after several times of wearing the pieces.124. Try to avoid tossing your sweaty workout clothes into your hamper right away, instead hanging them somewhere if you can’t wash them at the moment.
129. The recommended wash cycle for down coats and vests is the permanent press cycle, combined with the necessary amount of soap or other washing products you may be using.
