Washing for garment durability
Sustainability encompasses not only the materials we use but also the way you care for your garments. Washing at the right temperature can significantly extend the lifespan of clothing, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ultimately minimizing waste. Here’s why it matters:
HIGH VS LOW TEMPERATURES
Washing at excessively high temperatures can cause fibers to weaken, leading to color fading, shrinkage, and fabric distortion. Conversely, washing at low temperatures may not effectively remove dirt and stains.
LESS HEAT, LESS ENERGY
Hot water requires more energy to heat, while washing at lower temperatures significantly reduces energy consumption. This conscious choice not only saves money on utility bills but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with energy production, benefiting the environment.
RECOMMENDED GUIDELINES
By following the recommended temperature guidelines, you can ensure that your garments remain in excellent condition, lasting longer and reducing the environmental impact associated with frequent replacements.
