Sustainable fashion is more about how you WASH & CARE for your clothes than what you buy:Â
- + Most of us are washing our clothes wrongÂ
- + When we wash our wardrobes properly, our clothes last longer, stay in better condition, we keep our favourite garments alive for longer, save water/energy, and buy lessÂ
- + Wash 30 degrees or lowerÂ
- + Spot washÂ
- + Front loader is generally more gentle on clothes than top loaderÂ
- + Don't do 'one wear, one wash'Â
- + Hang things out to air dry (Tim & I have a wooden rack where our washing basket used to be - we hang things there to air that can be worn another time)Â
- + Hand wash things that need it (you can do this in your shower!)Â
- + Spring/summer is a great time to re-adjust your washing habitsÂ
- + I personally spend more time caring for my clothes than at a mall - saves me money, it's my happy place (I know it's not for everyone), and I feel more loyal to the clothes I ownÂ
Â
Essentially, no one talks about how to wash our clothes enough. Even in the sustainability world!Â
