but do u know how to take care of your clothes?

                        How To take care Your clothes...

Make sure you put your clothes on a hanger when you get undressed at night if they are going to be worn again. Put everything else into the hamper to be washed. Never just put your clothes into a ball, and drop them on the floor. Protect the fabric, and the items will last and always look nice.

Prevent getting food stains on your shirts or blouses by bringing the spoon 'to' your mouth, and gently sip the contents, so as to prevent dripping. When eating a pasta or gravy dish, hold the napkin between your shirt or blouse and the food, again, move your mouth to the fork.

Dab ice water or seltzer onto food stains immediately , so it does not set. Do not rub.

Wash your clothes often. Use a gentle wash cycle for delicates. Do not use liquid bleach in the wash. Separate colors from whites. Pure soap with a handful of bicarbonate (baking) soda is a much better, safer and more environmentally friendly bleach than White King. Chemical bleaches are extremely bad for your health, and don't properly wash out of your clothes.

Try not to use a dryer at all. Dryers wear out your clothes and fade their colours more quickly than drying in sunlight. Drying in sunlight or in the open air is also a much healthier way of drying your clothes - sunlight is a natural disinfectant. And lastly, clothes-dryers use an enormous amount of electricity, contributing to the greenhouse effect and your electricity bill. Try drying your clothes on clothes-racks if the weather is not good, and ironing them when still slightly damp. Much better for your clothes and for the environment. If you absolutely have to use a dryer, use it on the warm setting and clear the lint filter after every load. If the temperature is too hot, your clothes will come out all wrinkled. If your dryer has a delicate cycle use it. Make sure you do not leave the dryer on, longer than necessary.

Remove the clothes from the dryer and hang them up immediately. Button the top button on shirts, and hang blouses neatly on the hanger. Slacks should go on a special pants hanger, that clips over the top of the waist. Smooth the fabric with your hand, so as to avoid wrinkles. Iron out any wrinkles that might occur.

Fold all other garments neatly and place in the dresser drawers. 

Hang your clothes in the closet, and make sure they are not all crowded or crushed together. They need breathing room or they will become all wrinkled and slip off the hangers and land on the floor.
