Hello everyone, today I am going to be discussing
how to keep your clothes looking nice after you wash them. We have all had
those moments where we take a clothing item out of the washer and it has
shrunk, been bleached, or the decoration has fallen off. This is frustrating
and after this happens you have to fix it, or never wear it again because most
stores will not return it. Also, the wash tags on the inside of clothing do not
tell you all the details you must know, but I have the solutions to all your
problems.
First, let’s say you want to wash jeans and keep
them from fading, but also keep the rhinestones on the pockets. Always make
sure when washing jeans that you turn them inside-out especially the jeans that
have décor on the pockets. Turning them inside-out will keep the outside of the
jeans looking nice, and also keep the beads on the pockets. However, if you are
still leery about washing those new jeans with all the bling, take a pillowcase
and put them inside the pillow case. Last, but not least make sure to wash
jeans on cold/cool and do not dry them all the way just until the pockets are
still wet, and dry them on a delicate or casual setting. This way the jeans
will not shrink and will not be stiff.
The next item we all put in the washer is that
favorite shirt we wore last week and need to go out in that night. This shirt
is the cutest because it has sequins all over it. There are two ways that I
would suggest for washing shirts like this. The first way is to turn it inside-out,
put it in a pillowcase, wash it in cold water, and hang dry. The biggest rule
with shirts that have a lot of décor (sequins, rhinestones, etc.) NEVER DRY
THEM! The next way you can wash a shirt like this is to use detergent and cold
water and hand wash it in your sink, be gentle and make sure your hands are
clean before starting, and hang dry when finished. This way you will lose no
glitz on your favorite shirt.
With summer right around the corner I had to let
everyone know how to also keep their swimsuits from fading and make them last
for many summers. You go swimming in a chlorine pool come home throw your
swimsuit on the floor and do this repeatedly, this is what causes it to fade so
quickly. So the next time you go swimming, wash your swimsuit out with cold
water as soon as you change and hang it up. Every so often it is ok to wash
your swimsuit on cool and dry it on the delicate cycle, but I would suggest
only doing this like once a month or every other week if necessary. Last tip
with swimsuits is, if you have white lining, never wear these types of
swimsuits creek swimming, this will cause the lining to turn brown and it is
hard to get it back to white.
Even though I have given you all great tips to wash
your clothes, I would still encourage you all to read the tags and pay
attention to the washing instructions on these as well. Use your smarts and my
tips and your clothes will stay looking great for many wears.
