6 Effective Tips on How to Care for Your Things in the Closet

​Have you been looking for ways to take care and maintain for your clothes and shoes in your closet the right way? Good thing, there are many ways to make it possible. Provided here are some tips that can help you maintain the look, form, and color of your belongings.

​Cotton
It is advisable to wash your cotton in warm water. When using a washing machine, use a normal wash cycle. Cotton is a strong garment, so it is safe to wash it in a machine. You can use any detergent of your choice. If it is white, it is fine to use bleach. 

Leather Jacket
Spray scotch guard or similar product on your leather jacket before you wear it. This can stop the ingress of grime, stain, and water. Use a damp cloth when you clean it. When it is raining, avoid using your leather jackets as they easily get stained when wet. 

Lingerie
Do not machine wash your lingerie particularly the ones in lace, silk, and satin. Hand wash them and use a mild detergent. Make sure to rinse them thoroughly, as the detergent can damage the fabric. Fold your bras properly to maintain the form of the cups. 

Silk
You may opt to hand wash your silk items or dry clean them. When drying the out, do not wring your silk. If you need to iron your silk, do it while they are still a bit wet. Silk needs to breath, so do not store them in plastic. 

Jeans
Jeans conform to the body of the wearer. But, every time you wash them, the jeans gradually lose their shape. Their color also fades. Use cold water when washing your jeans. These types of fabrics also need to breath, so do not put them in a crowded drawer.

Dress Shoes
Shoes also have a space in the closet. Do not throw your shoes, especially the expensive ones into a bin. This can ruin your shoes and cause them to deform. When it comes to suede and soft leather shoes, use clean tissues to pack them.

Conclusion
Your clothes, shoes, and everything in your closet are your treasured possessions, regardless of how expensive or cheap you bought them. Take care of your things if you want to use them for a long time.
