Taking care of your clothes isn’t just about keeping them looking good—it’s about making them last. With a few simple care habits, you can extend the lifespan of your wardrobe and reduce waste. Whether it’s learning to wash different fabrics, using gentle detergents, or storing clothes the right way, these tips will keep your favourite pieces in great shape for years.
Wash by Fabric Type
Whether it’s modal, silk, or linen, each fabric requires specific care. Always check the care label. For items like our Alba Washable Silk and Terra Linen collections, gentle cycles preserve their longevity and prevent shrinking and fading.
Use Gentle Detergents
Avoid harsh chemicals that fade colours and weaken fabrics. Gentle, eco-friendly detergents keep pieces like your Daydream Essentials soft, vibrant, and long-lasting.
Use Moisture-Absorbing Packs
In humid climates, moisture buildup can cause musty odours. Place silica gel packs in your closet to keep your favourite pieces dry—especially helpful for the Alba Washable Silk collection.
Button and Zip Before Washing
Zipping and buttoning up clothes before washing prevents them from snagging. It’s a small step that helps protect pieces like our Je Dors Signature and Carezza Lace collection from unnecessary tear and wear.
Steam Instead of Ironing
Steaming is a gentler way to remove wrinkles and perfect for delicate fabrics. If you don’t have a steamer, hang your Alba Washable Silk and Terra Linen pieces in the bathroom while you shower for a natural wrinkle-relief hack.
Store The Right Way
The right hanger matters! Use padded hangers for silk and delicate fabrics, while heavier knits like the Reis Collection should be folded to avoid stretching. Pieces from Daydream Essentials can be hung or folded depending on your space.
Fold Knits
Knits, like those in our Reis Collection, need to be folded instead of hung to prevent stretching and sagging. Proper folding keeps them looking fresh and in shape for longer.
Spot Clean
Spilled something on your Terra Linen? Skip the full wash and spot clean to keep fabrics looking new. This reduces wear on your clothes and limits unnecessary washing.
Rotate Your Wardrobe
Over-wearing your favourite pyjamas from our Je Dors Signature or Carezza Lace collections? Rotate them with other pieces to give them a break and extend their lifespan. Even rotating your PJs helps prevent early wear!
Learn Basic Repairs
Don’t toss your favourite items over a missing button or a small tear. Learning basic sewing skills can help you easily repair pieces from your favourite collections and keep them around for years to come.
