Dear Just Be: How do I maintain my clothes?

If you are like one of our readers who has begun going through their spring wardrobe and noticing that their clothes aren’t in the greatest condition, we have some tips for you.

  • Before storing your clothes, wash them. Washing your clothes will get out perfumes, oils and perspiration – which can eat away at your clothes.
  • If you need to get your clothes dry cleaned, take the clothes out of the plastic bag that they come back in before storing them.
  • Store your clothes in cool, dry locations and if possible store in acid-free muslin bags.
  • Consider storing your leathers in cold storage.
  • Cashmere should be stored in non plastic, acid-free containers

Lastly, the easiest step in preserving your clothes is creating a regular schedule for maintaining and storing you clothes. In Colorado that can be done just twice a year.
