Air Dry Over Tumble Dry
Tumble drying can damage your clothes, causing fading, pilling, and wear and tear. Instead, opt for air drying or hang them up to dry naturally. For knits and delicate fabrics, flat drying is the way to go—just place a towel underneath and let it dry slowly.

Washing Machine Smarts

Washing at lower temperatures (like 30°C instead of 60°C) saves energy and works better for some detergents. Just a heads up: items like underwear and socks may need the higher heat to get truly clean.

Iron Less, Steam More
