General Clothing Care- Dry rain-dampened clothes before returning to closet or drawers
- Hang clothes up immediately after you take them off.
- Fold sweaters carefully and place in drawer.
- Combination shirt/shirt hangers or multiple skirt hangers will save closet space.
- Padded or wooden hangers will help retain shape of garments.
- Remove stains promptly to prevent them from becoming set.
- Avoid perspiration stains by using an antiperspirant.
- Mend clothes regularly to prevent drooping hems and loss of buttons.
- Clothing that isn’t being worn should be stored in dust-proof and water-proof containers.
- Store clean, out-of-season garments in moth-proof containers.
- Wash “washables” as they need it and send “non-washables” to the drycleaners.
- Save labels from new garments and follow laundering instructions carefully.
- Wear a protective covering when cooking or doing work that may stain or damage clothing.
