Caring for clothing often seems like a lost art, but it’s easy to learn the skills that can make your clothes look better for longer.

General care

1. Put your clothes away as soon as you take them off – abandoning them on chairs or the floor adds grime and creases to sweat and general wear and tear.


2. Hang your clothes on coat hangers to ensure they keep their shape and take everything out of the pockets, or keys will stretch garments out of shape and paper tissues will disintegrate in the wash and spread themselves over everything.


3. Our grandparents knew that a swift brushing before putting clothes away for the night was the best way to remove accumulated dust particles and to drive out odours.


4. Try to 'rest' trousers and jackets for 24 hours after wearing them so that they can regain their shape and lose any accumulated smells.


5. Clothing in wardrobes should have an air gap of a couple of millimetres between each item.
