Do you really know how to take care of your clothes, bags, and jewelries? Here are a few tips on how to extend the life of your wardrobe. Just follow these simple strategies and you will be forgetting those common clothing problems in no time. Static in clothing is usually common. How to prevent them? Use fabric-softener sheets in the dryer or add half a cup of distilled white vinegar to the rinse cycle. The acidity of the vinegar eliminates soap residue and softens the fabric. As a result, friction in the dryer is reduced and static is minimized. We also frequently see dimples. These are caused by the curved ends of plastic and wire hangers that stretch and distort the fabrics that drape on them. Experts usually use padded hangers. A soft, wide hanger gives more support to the piece of clothing. Mildew is another common problem. Mold spores usually call for certain conditions to grow. They need warmth, dampness, and a food source. So before storing your clothing, clean and wash it in order to eliminate any soil or stain (which is the food source) and hang dry thoroughly. If your storage space area is humid, stash a pack of sidewalk chalk (or your kids’ chalk) close to the clothes in order to absorb moisture. Stains are culprits not just for clothes, but also for bags. The sooner you treat a spot of stain, the better the outcome. Heat from the dryer can bake stains in your wardrobe, so never machine-dry a piece of clothing until you’re sure it's completely clean. Misshapen and deformed handbags or shoes are usually due to piling things on them. It is never a good idea because they can quickly lose their shape. How to avoid this? Stuff bags or shoes with tissue paper and hang them on a hook. Tarnish on silver jewelry increase when silver comes into contact with sulfur in the air. What you can do is: Wrap your jewelries in soft cloth and then store them in an airtight or sealed container (e.g. zip-lock sandwich bag). The easiest way to preserve your jewelry is to wear it as much as possible because contact with skin can slow down tarnishing. You can talk about...
