How-To: 10 Tips For Better Laundering
Tired of pulling laundry out of the dryer and seeing that it's frayed or faded? A recent San Francisco Chronicle article, "How to Make Clothes, Bedding, Last Longer," by Susan Fornoff, offers some smart tips for getting your clothes clean while also extending their lifespan.
Here are some of my favorite tips from the article:
- Try to avoid sateen sheets, as they aren't as long-lasting as plain and twill weaves.
- Button up pants and shirts, close zippers, and turn garments inside out to reduce wear from laundering.
- Check for stains after washing and before drying, because drying sets the stains.
- For comforters, choose the highest fill you can afford.
