Handwashing


  1.  Fill a sink or basin with cold water
2. Add natural and biodegradable clothing detergent (or any gentle soap, best option is one that is free of artificial fragrance, bleach, optical brighteners, sulfates, and dioxane).
3. Submerge garment in water.
4. Gently swirl and squeeze garment- do not wring or twist.
5. Drain basin and rinse garment with cold water
6. Pull out garment and gently squeeze excess water without stretching




Dry Cleaning


1. Wait until it is absolutely necessary to clean the garment.
2. Find a green dry cleaner.
3. Double-check that the cleaner does not use perchloroethylene “perc.” Perc is the main solvent used at dry cleaners and is toxic to humans and the environment and is not biodegradable.
4. Opt out of the plastic covers.



Drying


Line drying is the best way to dry your clothes. Aside from consuming a lot of energy, dryers are harmful to your clothes and could lead to fading. Opt for a shady area outside to minimize exposure to direct sunlight.



Pro tip


Long silk dresses should be prepped before line drying. These steps are meant to reduce their water weight and hence the risk of damage:

  1. Lay flat on a clean towel.
  2.  Cover with another towel.
  3. Apply pressure to remove excess water.

Gentle Detergent


Conventional detergents contain harsch chemicals such as chlorine, optical brighteners, sulfates, petrochemicals, synthetic colors, phosphates, parabens, and artificial perfumes which are rough and could damage gentle fabrics.

To care for your delicate fabrics, opt for gentle, pH neutral detergents such as hand soap and shampoo. You can also use natural soapberries that are biodegradable and do not pose risks to grey water.
