Fabric Care Tips

Back-to-School Fabric Care Tips

As the new school year approaches, it's time to get ready with a fresh wardrobe. Whether you're a teacher, parent, or student, feeling comfortable and confident in your clothes is key to staying focused on learning. To keep your school clothes looking sharp all year, proper care is essential.

Summer Storage Tips

Before storing your summer clothes, make sure they're thoroughly cleaned. Invisible stains can yellow over time, and lingering soils can attract insects. Delicate fabrics like silks and linens need extra care—dry clean them before packing away. Avoid using plastic dry cleaning bags for storage, as they can trap moisture and lead to mildew. Instead, store your clothes in cardboard boxes in a dark, dry place with stable temperatures. This helps prevent color fading and keeps your garments fresh.

Fall Freshen-Up

When transitioning to your fall wardrobe, take a moment to inspect your sweaters and coats for any musty odors, fading, or tiny holes caused by insects. Even if they look good, they'll benefit from a professional cleaning to remove any hidden soils that can weaken fibers over time. As you prepare for cooler weather, consider cleaning your scarves, rainwear, boots, and leather jackets to keep them in top condition. Embrace the changing seasons with a wardrobe that feels as fresh as the new school year.
