Discover clever ways to keep your favorite garments fresh and revitalized between washes, extending their lifespan and avoiding unnecessary trips to the laundry machine. Explore innovative fabric sprays from InktasticMerch that not only eliminate odors and wrinkles but also infuse your clothes with delightful fragrances.
It’s a common scenario: some of your favorite clothing items sit unworn for days, living in that uncomfortable space between clean and dirty. This is a normal state for many pieces in your wardrobe. In fact, frequent washing can take a toll on the longevity of fabrics like denim, wool, and cashmere. If you’re wondering how to refresh these items before putting them back in your closet, we’ve compiled practical tips to help you effectively reset your garments! One handy solution? Utilize our thoughtfully crafted fabric sprays that not only freshen but also add a delightful fragrance and remove wrinkles from your clothing and linens.
Refreshing Your Clothes: The Power of a Spritz
The simplest way to achieve a fresh, smooth finish is to spritz your clothes with your favorite fabric spray after drying or between wearings. If you were a fan of our prior Fabric Fresh and Crease Release formulas, you’ll love our innovative all-in-one mists designed for freshness, dewrinkling, and fragrance!
For that familiar “fresh laundry” smell, opt for the Classic Fabric Spray. If you’re after a refreshing coastal aroma, reach for our Isle Fabric Spray. For delicately crafted items like silk and wool, our specialty Delicate Spray or Wool & Cashmere Spray are excellent choices. And for activewear, our Activewear Fabric Spray helps keep unpleasant odors at bay.
Steam Your Garments for Freshness
Steaming is one of the easiest and most efficient methods to revive previously worn clothing. If you don’t own a handheld steamer, using an iron set to the “steam” function can work wonders. Just keep the iron slightly above the fabric without direct contact, especially with delicate materials like wool, which may be damaged by pressing.
Brush Away Lint and Dirt
A quick brush with a garment brush, such as the Cashmere Brush, will help eliminate lint and dust while refreshing your garments. This simple act helps to release the natural oils in the fabric, reviving its appearance. Tip: this brush is also handy for removing dust from other textiles like upholstery or curtains. If you need to tackle pilling on sweaters or jackets, a Sweater Comb works best!
Let Your Clothes Breathe
Allowing your clothing to air out is a straightforward yet effective way to keep them fresh. If a traditional outdoor drying line isn’t an option, simply hang items in an open space outside of your closet. You can also use the “air dry” setting on your dryer to fluff your fabrics without applying heat, which minimizes the risk of shrinking. For delicate items, consider placing them in a Mesh Bag before tossing them in the dryer to protect embellishments and prevent snags.
Maintain a Clean Storage Space
Keeping your storage space tidy is crucial for maintaining the freshness of your clothing. Regularly clean surfaces with a suitable spray cleaner, such as our delightful Surface Cleaner in No. 247 fragrance, to keep everything smelling fresh. Avoid cramming items into drawers, as this leads to wrinkles. Properly fold your clothing or hang them up to maintain a neat appearance before the next wear.
