Many items in your wardrobe don't need to be washed after each wear, so this limbo state is perfectly normal. In fact, over-laundering may compromise the lifespan of many pieces like denim, wool, and cashmere. Items from "the chair" can be moved confidently back to the closet with these quick tips and tricks for giving clothes a reset! Our best-kept secret? In between washes, grab one of our cleverly designed, all in one Fabric Sprays, designed to freshen, add fragrance, and dewrinkle your wardrobe and linens.
Give Clothes A Spritz
For the ultimate smooth, fragrant finish, spritz with your favorite Fabric Spray after removing from the dryer or between washes. If you loved our previous Fabric Fresh and Crease Release formulas, you'll adore our new all in one mists to freshen, dewrinkle, and fragrance fabrics! For a "clean laundry" scent, reach for our Classic Fabric Spray, or for a burst of coastal freshness grab our Isle Fabric Spray. To add fragrance to "dry clean" clothes like silks and woolens, try our specialty Delicate Spray or Wool & Cashmere Spray options!
Steam & Reset
Steaming is one of the easiest, most low-effort ways to freshen up a previously worn piece. If you don't own a hand steamer, you can achieve similar results by setting an iron to the "steam" setting and hovering your iron over the item. Be sure not to make contact with the item as pressing some fabrics like wool may crush and damage fibers.
Brush Away
Help remove lint, dust and give your garments a refresh with regular brushing with a garment brush, like the Cashmere Brush. By doing so, you’ll help release the fabrics’ natural oils which helps to rejuvenate the yarns for an enhanced appearance. Hot tip: this brush is also excellent for removing dust & lint from upholstery and curtains. To help remove pilling from sweaters & outerwear, use a Sweater Comb instead!
Air It Out
Simple yet effective, giving your garments room to breathe can keep them fresh. If you don't have access to an outdoor drying line, simply hanging pieces in an open area outside of your closet can do the trick. You can also use your dryers' "air dry" setting to fluff up your fabrics. Because no heat is used during the process, there's no need to worry about your garment shrinking. For delicate pieces, we recommend inserting them into one of our Mesh Bags before adding to the dryer to protect intricate details and prevent snags.
Clean Your Storage Space
Proper, clean and tidy storage in between wears can go a long way towards making clothes feel fresh. Regularly cleaning surfaces with an appropriate spray cleaner, like our delightfully-scented Surface Cleaner in No. 247 fragrance, will help to keep things looking (and smelling) clean. In addition, avoid shoving items into drawers - this will only lead to wrinkles. Fold items properly, or toss them on a hanger to help maintain a tidier look before the next wear.
