After wearing
Air garments before storing them and check for marks promptly. Let textiles dry completely before placing them in wardrobes or containers.
Store appropriately
Structured jackets may benefit from broad hangers; sweaters often keep their shape better when folded. Avoid overcrowded wardrobes that crush fabric.
Learn simple repairs
Keeping a needle, thread and spare buttons nearby helps address small issues early. For structural repairs or delicate fabrics, consider a professional.
Clean accessories
Brush shoes and bags with tools suited to their material and test products on a hidden area. Avoid universal remedies when the finish is unknown.
Review, repair, pass on
When a garment no longer serves you, consider repair, swapping, donation or a reputable reuse route nearby. Check acceptance requirements before handing it over.
