Properly caring for your clothing in between wears will allow your clothes to stay fresh for many wears. Washing your clothes less will help them endure years of wear.

Spot Clean

When you stain your clothing it is not destined for the washing machine. Instead, spot or sponge clean it with a natural stain remover, such as combining baking soda and water to create a stain-removing paste. 

Natural Steam

Natural steam is a great way to freshen up your clothing. Try hanging clothes up in the bathroom during a shower to help release wrinkles.

Wash Full Loads

Washing full loads is more energy efficient because the same amount of electricity is used to wash a small load as a full load. Use a natural or eco-friendly laundry detergent. 

Wash in Cold Water

Wash clothing at 30° C or less.  Running a washing machine load on a hot cycle uses 75% more energy than cold water washes, and warm water is also more likely to break down dyes and fibers.  

Dry Clean Selectively

For "dry clean only" clothing, wait until it is necessary. When it is time, take your clothes to an eco-friendly dry cleaner. 

Air Drying

Lay flat or hang the clothing to dry. Air drying reduces the use of electricity and fiber degradation, increasing the lifespan of garments and reducing their climate impact. 

Machine Drying

Use organic wool dryer balls to increase airflow, and reduce drying time and electricity use. 

Knitwear

Wash by hand in cold water. Lay sweaters flat, inside out to dry. Fold sweaters for storage. Never hang. 

Delicates

Delicate woven garments made from plant-based fibers can be washed gently in cold water. Hang to dry and store.
