STORING YOUR CLOTHES CORRECTLY IS IMPORTANT TO MAINTAINING THEIR LOOKS AND LONGEVITY. BEFORE YOU STORE YOUR CLOTHES CHECK THE GARMENT FOR DAMAGE OR SOILING. IF THEY ARE DIRTY DO NOT STORE THEM BUT WASH AND DRY FIRST. IF A BUTTON HAS LOOSENED, FIX IT FIRST. ONLY STORE CLOTHES THAT ARE READY TO BE WORN.

AIR
ALL CLOTHING MADE FROM NATURAL FIBRES, PARTICULARLY COATS AND JACKETS, SHOULD BE LEFT TO AIR AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE THEY ARE STOWED AWAY.

BRUSH
INVEST IN A STRONG BRISTLED CLOTHES BRUSH AND BRUSH AWAY ANY DIRT, FLUFF OR HAIRS. ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE PETS.

BUTTON
FASTEN ALL BUTTONS AND ZIP ALL FASTENERS. THIS WILL ENSURE YOUR CLOTHES KEEP THEIR SHAPE.

HANGERS
TRY AND HANG AS MANY GARMENTS AS POSSIBLE. HANGING HELPS KEEP CLOTHES IN SHAPE. ALTHOUGH KNITTED GARMENTS AND HEAVIER ITEMS SUCH AS PULLOVERS, CARDIGANS AND JUMPERS ARE BEST FOLDED FLAT. WHEN PURCHASING HANGERS CHOOSE WOODEN OR STRONG PLASTIC ONES RATHER THAN THE WIRE KIND. PADDED HANGERS SHOULD BE USED FOR DELICATE DRESSES AND BLOUSES. THEY CAN ALSO BE USED FOR KNITS IF YOU PREFER NOT TO FOLD THEM. THE CLIP OR HOOP HANGER SHOULD BE USED FOR HANGING SKIRTS.

POLISH
SHOES SHOULD BE POLISHED AFTER EACH WEAR BECAUSE THE POLISH IS READILY APPLIED ON WARM LEATHER. SUEDE SHOES SHOULD BE BRUSHED NOT WITH THE WIRE TYPE OF BRUSH, AS THIS DAMAGES THE SUEDE, BUT WITH A SOFTER BRUSH. WE SUGGEST A STIFF TOOTHBRUSH.

SORT
WITH SMALLER ITEMS SUCH AS UNDERWEAR AND SOCKS TRY AND PAIR THEM SOON AFTER WASHING AND DRYING. KEEP YOUR UNDERWEAR FLAT AND CREASE FREE WHEN STORING AND NEVER ROLL YOUR SOCKS TOGETHER IN A BALL TRY AND STORE THEM FLAT ONE ON TOP OF THE OTHER. DO THE SAME WITH HOISERY AS THIS WILL PREVENT TEARING OF THE MATERIAL.
