Long live your CLOTHES

Extend the life of your clothes and save a few bucks with our clothing maintenance hacks

- Bianca Muller

When buying clothes (have W you flipped through our fashion pages on page 18. yet?), you not only want to look good, but get bang for your buck, too. Ideally, you'd want your garments to stay in top-notch condition for as long as possible. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to keep your clothing from heading to the landfill.

CHOOSE YOUR DETERGENTS WISELY

Ditch the harsh standard products - they are not only bad for the environment, but for your clothes too. It can be responsible for fading the colours of your garments and could be the culprit causing holes and quick wearing down of fabrics. Instead, make use of detergents that don't contain as many (or any) harmful chemicals, or make your own products at home (the internet has various DIY detergent options for you).
