"The suds prevent the clothes from rubbing against each other in the washer, which is what cleans the clothes," explains Droz. This may sound counterintuitive, however Droz explains that suds work to prevent the clothing from rubbing together in the wash. "Synthetic materials can emit microplastic when machine washing them, so I always suggest using a washing bag to prevent the microplastics from ending up in the ocean," he says.
Plus, Lewenhaupt points out that garment bags are actually better for the environment. "A mesh bag is a great way to protect any piece of clothing, but also to keep garments together (can anyone say, missing socks?)." "Turn pants inside out and place them in a mesh bag," says Droz. While you should always make sure that your clothing is machine-washable in the first place, garment bags will prolong your clothing's lifespan once that little fact is confirmed. "By cleaning up these little messes, you can avoid having the pieces laundered as often." "We carry our Plant-Based Cleaning Wipes with us everywhere we go for cleaning up little spills during the day or even makeup that accidentally gets on our collars," says Droz. Lindsay Droz, co-founder of L'Avant Collective, suggests picking up some stain-removing wipes. "I recommend airing your garments outside occasionally and steaming them to remove unwanted odors, kill bacteria, and make them wrinkle-free," says Lewenhaupt.ĭon't worry, this doesn't mean you have to immediately change your clothes so that they can soak in club soda. Frej Lewenhaupt, who is a textile expert and the co-founder and CEO of Steamery, explains that overwashing is a major reason why clothing loses its shape prematurely. Steamers aren't just for removing wrinkles, you can also use them as a clothing refresher.
