Extending the Life of Your Clothing – A Few Tips

If you’re like me, it seems like every time we turn around it’s time to replace something from our closet or our kids’ dressers.  This often leaves me wondering, “What can I do to extend the wear of my “dressy” or business outfits?”

After all, nothing wears down clothes faster than wearing them. 

At Flair Cleaners, we recommend wearing your “dressy” or business attire only while you are at a special occasion or work.  Change into casual clothes as soon as possible after arriving home, or after guests leave.  The same holds true for your kids.

To minimize the possibility of stains, never clean up after a dinner or party while wearing your best!  Put on shorts, sweats or jeans, depending on the season, time of day and other activities you have planned for the rest of the day.  Finally, regular dry cleaning helps remove even unseen dirt and oils that can work to damage fabric fibers.
