Tired of clothes that go dull after just a few wears? Let's give you tips you need to keep your clothes sparkling bright, you'll be so proud to show them for the whole neighbourhood to see.
Time tested tips
- Always follow the instructions on the care label. It's worth the effort if you don't want your top to become a perfect fit for a teddy.
- Don't soak leather, clothes with metal fasteners or flame-resistant fabrics.
- If you are worried about colours running, wash separately and quickly in a cool solution (we suggest 40°C).
- The first time you wash a coloured garment, soak it in water and salt for several minutes. This will help prevent the colour from running. To find out if something will run, dampen a small area of the fabric and place a piece of white fabric on top. Iron it dry to see if the colour runs through.
- For oil stains, put some talcum powder on the spot. Still there? Try ironing the stain out by placing a piece of tissue paper on it.
- Fruit juice stains can be easily taken off with a little bit of lime juice.
- Rust spots on your clothes? Mix a little lemon juice and lukewarm water and apply a little on the stain. Be careful though because it can bleach colours out.
- To remove nail varnish stains, pour a little nail varnish remover onto the stain. Not too much as it can bleach colours out.
