Putting the fabrics through constant agitation in water and detergent can cause your clothes to wear out. Only wash when you really need to, like when it&#8217;s visibly dirty or has a foul smell. Check how often you should be washing your clothes.<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Learn basic repairs:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">\u00a0It comes in handy when you know how to fix basic repairs. Whether it&#8217;s fixing a loose thread or sewing back on a button, you can save yourself the money of purchasing a replacement and make your clothes last a little longer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Hang nice clothes: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">Your suits, dresses, coats, jackets (especially leather ones) and any fabrics that are prone to getting creased easily or ones that are to delicate to be folded. Hang them on clothes hangers!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Fold heavy sweaters: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">Hanging heavy sweaters can cause them to deform in shape as the weight of it will pull it down and stretch the fabric. It&#8217;s best to fold and store them away as you would with your general clothing but be sure to keep them away from zippers or clothing accessories that might snag onto them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Pay attention to the care label: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">The care label has all the instructions you need to clean, dry and iron your clothes the correct way, so it shouldn&#8217;t really be ignored. The only way to give your clothes proper treatment when it is wash, dried and ironed is to refer to it&#8217;s care label.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Clean clothes before storing them away: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">When seasons change and you swap your winter clothes for summer ones, it&#8217;s best to have them fresh and clean before storing them away.

Always remember to dab and use cold or luke-warm water when treating a stain.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Don&#8217;t procrastinate when doing the laundry: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">In the process of doing laundry, sometimes we delay in folding and putting our clothes away or we leave clothes in the washing machine\/ tumble dryer.

It can cause it to stretch or deform in shape if it&#8217;s not the right size. Instead, use wooden or thick hangers that will be able keep the shape of the garments shoulder.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Wash coloured clothes inside out:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #808080;\">To prevent the colour of your clothes from fading, wash them inside out to protect them.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\">Don&#8217;t be lazy to separate colours: <span style=\"color: #808080;\">If you separate your laundry pile, your clothes will in fact be cleaner!
