Want to know how to make your custom decorated apparel last longer? Did you ever look in the closet or drawer and say to yourself, “I can’t wear this shirt anymore,” and decide to donate or even throw the clothing away? All of us have been in this situation one way or another. Proper maintenance on you clothing can make your shirts look great all year long and eventually save dollars in you pocket. GSH Apparel would like to offer some basics tips on how to make your custom decorated apparel last longer.
Turn Clothes Inside Out
Some of the wear and tear that happens on your clothing can be prevented by turning your clothing inside out before washing and drying. Washing and drying clothing is rough on the outside of your clothing. Turning garments inside out will reduce pilling which dulls the look of the fabric.
Don’t Stuff the Washer
Stuffing the washer is tempting. It will help us save time, right? Well, actually stuffing the washer can cost us quite a bit. It makes the machine work harder and it is tougher on our clothes. Clothing can’t come clean or have soap evenly deposited when it is packed into a washing machine. Similarly clothing takes a lot longer to dry when a dryer is stuffed with wet cloths. Clothes need to move freely.
Add Vinegar????
YES! Vinegar doesn’t have the most pleasant smell, but adding a cup to your washing machine will not only give you a natural fabric softener, but also help prevent colors from fading. The good news? The vinegar smell goes away in the wash.
GSH Apparel hopes these tips can help you out in the future and save dollars in your pocket. We are always looking for ways to help our clients with their custom apparel needs, save money, and make their lives easier.
