Taking care of technical clothing is not difficult, and by washing and impregnating properly, you can significantly extend the life of your clothes.
We usually wash our clothes too much. Clothing that is not very dirty can be aired out instead. Fresh air is good for both people and clothing. It is often said that we spend more time doing laundry today than we did in the 1940s when washing machines were very rare.
Ventilate what is not too dirty. Fresh air is good for both people and clothes.
An important part of a textile product's total environmental impact is related to how long the product can be used before it is worn out, how well it has been taken care of and finally, what happens to it when it can no longer be used for its original purpose. A good place to start is to choose clothing that is durable, timeless in its design and made from recycled and/or recyclable fibers. Then, the way you take care of your clothes whilst you are wearing them also makes a big difference. Not only for the environment, but also for the performance of your products.
There are a number of environmentally certified detergents and cleansers available that reduce the impact of washing on the environment. How full a washing machine or dryer is plays the greatest role on the consumption of energy, water and detergent. In small households it can be difficult to fill a machine, and the washing instructions of many garments recommend to “wash separately”.
