Mindsphere. Posted May 28, 2020 Posted May 28, 2020 Even if we like shopping (sometimes even just for therapeutic purposes), it seems that we never give up our favorite items of clothing and we feel a sense of sadness when they can no longer be worn. Surely you've felt this at least once in your life. Did you know that a study by the University of Leeds shows that cheaper clothes can sometimes last even longer than those created by designers? Yes, it's proven practical! It's all about a few tricks you have to follow. So what are the most common mistakes you make that damage your clothes? Improper washing First of all, no matter what clothing we are talking about, we must read the label that tells us very clearly how many degrees must be washed, at what program or if they can be dried. And yes, we really have to follow the directions. We also have to be careful how the clothes end up in the washing machine. The most important thing is that those who have a zipper should always have it closed, otherwise the zipper can hang on the clothes. It is also very important to open the buttons on the clothes, because, due to the pressure exerted in the washing machine, they can break. Poor care of fabrics Do you think detergent is enough for your clothes? Not nearly! Almost all garments need a fine touch of conditioner. A quality conditioner will reduce the electrification of clothes and will make the fibers more pleasant to the touch. Not to mention the fresh smell! It is best to choose a delicate product with fabrics. Asevi Sensitif Balm is ideal in this regard, because, in addition to the softness and fragrance given to clothes, it also takes care of your skin. Drying in the washing machine The turbulent times we live in lead us to resort to quick and convenient solutions. The washing machines now come with a dryer that saves us from the stress of laying clothes on the wire. It's a practical solution, that's right. But do you think it's the best for your fabrics? If I asked the question, I think you figured out where we 'beat'. Really. Drying clothes outdoors is by far the best friend of a long life for clothing. In addition, you save energy and money! Wrong ironing Ironing clothes on the face can damage both the fabric and the appearance. Clothes can get an unsightly and unnatural shine. Always, regardless of the article and the material, the clothes are ironed upside down. Eventually, if it is also a sensitive material, we put an ironing protection on top so as not to damage or even burn the fabric. Incorrect storage Storing clothes is essential for them to have a long life. Do you use wire hangers? Throw them out! Hang the clothes on wooden or plastic hangers. The metal ones affect the shape of the clothes over time and leave unsightly marks in the shoulder area. Woolen clothes should not be hung on any hanger as the material will sag and warp. And if it's summer, winter items are kept folded on shelves. And vice versa when you don't have enough space in the closet and you have to rotate them ? Following these simple but effective tips will not only keep your clothes like new for a long time, but will also save you money. You know the saying: life is not perfect, but your clothing style can be!
