Investing in high-quality clothing is a smart choice, but taking care of your favorite pieces is the key to making them last. At SHAMS, we believe in sustainability, and a big part of that is extending the life of your wardrobe. Here are five simple tips to help you keep your clothes looking fresh and new for longer:
1. Wash Less, Wear More
Washing your clothes too often can cause wear and tear over time. Instead, try to get multiple wears out of pieces like hoodies, jackets, and leggings before washing. If your clothes aren’t visibly dirty, a quick spot clean or airing them out can do the trick.
2. Follow the Care Instructions
It might sound obvious, but following the care labels on your clothing can make a big difference. Our garments, made from soft and durable cotton, are best cared for with cold water washes and low-heat drying. This helps prevent shrinking and keeps colors vibrant.
3. Say No to High Heat
High heat can be a garment’s worst enemy. Opt for air drying when possible or use the lowest heat setting on your dryer. This is especially important for athletic wear, which benefit from gentle drying to maintain their shape and performance.
4. Store Smartly
Proper storage can keep your clothes looking new. Fold heavy knits and sweaters to prevent stretching, and use padded hangers for delicate fabrics. For items like our sweaters and hoodies (both performance and comfort) folding neatly in a drawer will keep them in top shape.
5. Spot Treat Stains Immediately
Accidents happen, but acting quickly can save your clothes. Dab (don’t rub) the stained area with cold water and a gentle detergent. For tougher stains, a natural stain remover can work wonders. Remember, always test a small area first to avoid damaging the fabric.
By following these tips, you’ll keep your favorite pieces from SHAMS looking fresh and fabulous for seasons to come. Plus, you’ll be doing your part for the planet by reducing waste. Check out our latest arrivals and treat yourself to styles that are made to last!
