How to Care for Your Clothes Between Washes

Taking care of your clothes and fabric care in general is quite a chore sometimes. Sure, handing it over to professionals sending your stuff to the laundromat may save you a lot of hassle, but it's already a great idea to let better-equipped pros, with their own fabric softeners, their high-grade detergents and more heavy-duty washers take care of your clothing for you instead of having to worry about tall this yourself. However, the quest for fabric care, regretfully, does not end there. Bad news, yes, yes, but not quite. As always, you don't have to tackle all this alone. We're here to help!

Today we'll be going further into fabric-care addressing and discussing what happens in between your trips to the laundromat (or just your clothes' trips if your laundry service provides Pick-up and delivery wink-wink) This is where proactive garment care becomes essential. By understanding how to properly care for your fabrics, you can extend their lifespan, preserve their vibrancy, and uphold a polished appearance for your family. 

Get ready to revolutionize your laundry routine and enhance your home's image.

Storage

Proper storage is key to maintaining your clothes. Here’s how to do it right:

• Clean Before Storing: Always store clean clothes to prevent dirt and stains from setting in.

• Cool, Dry, and Ventilated: Keep clothes in a cool, dry place to avoid mold and odors.

• Right Hangers: Use wooden, padded, or flocked hangers to maintain the shape. Avoid wire hangers.

• Away from Sunlight: Store clothes away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.

• Moth Protection: Use natural moth repellents like lavender or cedar.

• Breathable Bags: Store clothes in fabric bags to allow airflow and reduce dust and moisture.

• Separate Delicates and Heavies: Store delicate fabrics and heavy items separately to avoid damage.

• Don’t Overcrowd: Give your clothes space to prevent wrinkles and maintain their shape.
  

Clothing Stain Removal

One of the realities we face with clothes is the inevitable mishap of staining. Whether it's an accidental coffee spill or a stubborn ketchup blot, these unwelcome spots should be addressed immediately even before professional washing, to prevent permanent damage or discoloration. 

Stain removal, though tedious, can significantly enhance the lifespan and appearance of your clothes. If done properly, it can even end up benefitting the environment.

Here are some tips and tricks for dealing with common stains in the hospitality industry.

1. Act Fast: Blot stains immediately to prevent them from setting.

2. Choose the Right Remover: Use the right cleaner for the stain type (e.g., enzymatic cleaners for organic stains).

3. Don’t Rub: Blot or gently scrape, don’t rub.

4. Test First: Test stain removers on a hidden area first.

5. Wash After Treatment: Wash garments soon after treating stains.
   
   

Using At-Home Fabric Refreshers

The quest for clean, fresh-smelling garments does not end with washing and stain removal. Between washes, at-home fabric refreshers can play a critical role in maintaining that 'just-washed' scent, especially in the hospitality industry where cleanliness and freshness are paramount. 

Additionally, many fabric refreshers can also offer a sustainable solution to extend the time between washes, consequently reducing water consumption.

1. Eco-friendly Options: Use refreshers made from natural ingredients to be gentle on fabrics and the environment.

2. Use Sparingly: Don’t overuse fabric refreshers to avoid buildup.

3. Follow Instructions: Always follow product instructions for best results.

4. DIY Refreshers: Make your own using distilled water and essential oils for a natural, cost-effective option.
