Blouse with frills, from Newbie Woman

Air your garments: Air your clothes between wears to reduce washes and maintain their shape and quality. Steaming is also an option.

Treat stains immediately: Stains are easy to get but hard to remove—act quickly. Spot-treat based on the stain type, then soak or wash promptly.

Avoid Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners contain substances that harm our environment and fragrances that can irritate the skin and cause allergies. They can also damage materials like elastane, and overuse may lead to pilling.

Don’t Wash Too Hot: Using the right washing temperature helps clean clothes without shrinking, fading, or losing shape. Wash at a lower temperature when the garments are only lightly soiled.

Tumble Dry Less: Many materials lose shape or shrink at high temperatures, so air dry or hang dry your laundry instead of using a tumble dryer.
