- Hand wash cashmere.
- Hook bras and zip up zippers before washing. They can snag other clothes.
- Don't drive in heels because the floorboard can scuff the heels. Wear driving shoes instead.
- Buy underarm shields to prevent armpit stains!
- Give bras a break in between wearings to let the elastic "breathe"
- Don't hang pearls because it weakens the threads that hold them together.
- Wash whites after every wear to prevent yellowing.
- Don't wash darks after every wear so they won't fade.
- Wash or dry clean separates together so they fade at the same rate.
