Caring for Your Sweaters




Now that sweater season has finally arrived, you maybe wondering how to care for your sweaters and delicate fabrics. While you do have the option of taking them to your local Lafayette TN cleaners, it is highly recommended that you learn how to care for them yourself. Use these steps to prolong the life of your sweaters. 

Avoid hanging your sweaters up. Hanging your sweaters will only stretch them out of shape. The best way to store your sweaters is to fold them and keep them in a drawer on shelf where they won’t snag or pull.
 
The best way to deal with pilling is to pull it off so that it does not snag on the rest of your sweater. If you find picking the little pills too time consuming, consider using a razor or an electric to speed things up.
 
Don’t wear your sweaters all of the time or they will start to lose their shape.

Use a soft bristled baby brush to lightly remove dirt, dandruff, and hairs from the surface of your sweaters.
 
If you can’t get your sweaters to the dry cleaners, hand wash them at home. Be careful not to twist your sweaters. Use a gentle laundry detergent to clean your delicate fabrics and lay them flat to dry.
