Take Care Tuesday

Hello friends, sorry this is so late, I had to take a nap today and watch a lot of Everwood and clean. Anyway, on Tuesdays, I will be giving tips for taking care of things. This post is about taking care of clothes, black clothes in particular. I literally own more black than anyone I know because it matches everything! Anyway, it's important to take care of black items of clothing because they look really bad if they fade! So here are a few tips for keeping them looking fabuloussss:

1. Read the label! More, importantly, follow the directions on the label.
2. When in doubt, wash on cold with similar colors. (You'll find that's what most directions say anyway.)
3. Skip the dryer if you can. Our dryers at school are high efficiency and really fade and shrink my clothes.
4. If you must dry, try only doing so for 15 minutes or so and then hang them to dry.
Check your washer to see if it's high efficiency. If so, make sure to get high efficiency detergent.

Hope this helps!
Love,
Caren
