1. To lessen fading, turn clothing inside out before washing.

Keep the lights, darks, and whites apart.
For delicate materials like silk or lace, use laundry bags.
2. Employ the Appropriate Amount of Detergent

Fabric becomes stiff and deteriorates more quickly when too much detergent is used.
3. Steer clear of hot water.

Colors are preserved by cold water. Only sterilize or use warm water for towels.
4. Dry carefully.

Steer clear of intense sunlight since it might weaken and fade fibers.
Air-dry in places with good ventilation and shade.
5. Iron and Properly Store

Adapt the iron's heat to the type of fabric.
When hanging shirts and jackets, use wide wooden or plastic hangers.
Fold knits and sweaters instead of hanging them.
6. Avoid Moisture & Odor

Put bags of charcoal or moisture absorbers in your closet.
For freshness, add sachets of natural fragrance (orange peel, lavender).
7. Fast Fixes

Gum on clothing? After a few hours of freezing, it should be easy to peel off.
Sweat stains that are yellow? Before washing, pre-treat with baking soda or lemon juice.
