how to take care of your clothes

Today we have an article on how to take care of your clothes. Along with proper washing and maintenance, your clothes will benefit from proper care and protection. This topic may sound basic but until poor storage ruins your expensive suit or shoes, you may not appreciate these tips.

For example, the clothes that will be stored for a season or more should be free from moths, moisture, and sunlight.

Here are some tips to consider when taking care of your clothes:

General clothing management

• When buying a new shirt, use clear nail polish to sew the center of each button to seal the thread.
• Wrap duct tape around your finger on the sticky side to quickly remove lint from a small area.
• For a do-it-yourself lint remover, roll up a newspaper and wrap it with tape on the shiny side.
• When you clean clothes to remove dust and lint, you will get better results if you clean the bed instead of against it.
• Occasionally, wax the teeth of the zipper to ensure it works properly.
