A new season
brings fresh opportunities for the shopaholics to update their wardrobe. But
purchasing heaps of clothes also increases the washing task. Different types of
clothes need different care guidelines to be followed. Otherwise, various
problems can occur leaving your clothes unusable such as fading, bobbling,
shrinking, discoloring, etc.
Generally
people prefer to handover their expensive garments to a dry cleaner in Austin to keep them in a good condition for a longer
time. It is recommended that at least the first wash of a cloth should be dry
cleaning. Afterwards, you can try some
home remedies to keep your clothes in their best condition. For removing
stubborn stains from whites, white vinegar can be used. It is very effective in
giving a sparkling whiteness to clothes and preventing discoloring of lace. Don’t
use pure vinegar on clothes; rather dilute it with half portion of water. You
can directly apply it on stains.
For preventing
fading of colored garments, wash them in special detergents made for protecting
the colors. Always wash them separately in cold water.
Steaming can
be a good alternative to ironing, especially for woolens. If the cleaning
instructions of the cloth say ‘dry clean only’, you may avoid visiting a dry cleaner in Austin until the arrival
of the new season with the help of steaming. It causes less damage as compared to
ironing and keeps your woolens fluffy. A quick fix for shrunken woolens is to soak
them into warm water with a cloth conditioner that will get it back to its
normal size.
Synthetic
clothes are delicate and can get damaged if your iron is set at a high
temperature. Adjust your iron to the lowest temperatures available to avoid
shrinking of such delicate clothes.
