1. Sort not only by color but also by fabric

Most people separate laundry only into whites and colors, but fabric type matters too. Wool mixed with heavy cotton damages quickly. Delicate fabrics (silk, lace) need their own cycle, and synthetics too.
? How to apply daily: keep three baskets – one for cotton/linen, one for delicate items, and one for synthetics. Check labels before washing.

2. Wash clothes inside out

Turning clothes inside out protects prints, colors, and fine threads. T‑shirts with prints won’t fade as fast, and jeans keep their deep color.
? How to apply daily: make it a habit – when you check your pockets, turn garments inside out.

3. Wash colored clothes in cold water

Hot water fades colors and damages fibers. Cold wash keeps colors vibrant and saves energy.
How to apply daily: set your machine to 30°C or cold for all colored items and keep that setting as default.

4. Use vinegar instead of fabric softener

Fabric softeners coat fibers and shorten their life. White vinegar (half a cup) naturally softens, removes odors, and keeps elasticity.
How to apply daily: store a bottle near your washing machine and pour it in the softener compartment each wash.

5. Use laundry mesh bags for delicate items

Bras, lace tops, and tights wear out fast when washed directly with other clothes. Mesh bags prevent snags and stretching.
How to apply daily: keep mesh bags with your detergent and always use them for delicate pieces.

6. Iron through a thin cotton cloth

Direct ironing can leave shiny marks. A thin cloth between the iron and garment protects the fabric.
How to apply daily: keep an old cotton T‑shirt or cloth near your iron and always place it on top of delicate clothes when ironing.

7. Use wide hangers

Thin hangers distort shoulders, especially on jackets and knits. Wide ones preserve shape and prevent bumps.
How to apply daily: replace old hangers with wooden or padded ones and give garments a quick shake before hanging.

8. Add silica gel or lavender sachets

Moisture and moths are the silent enemies of clothes. Silica gel absorbs humidity, lavender keeps insects away and adds freshness.
How to apply daily: place small sachets in drawers and wardrobes, change them every few months.

9. Use vacuum storage bags for seasonal clothes

They save space and protect from dust and odors. Jackets and sweaters stay fresh until next season.
How to apply daily: after the season, wash and dry your clothes, pack them in vacuum bags, label them, and store.

✅ With these steps your clothes will stay fresh, stylish, and last much longer – saving you money and keeping your wardrobe in top shape.
