No special care for our me made garments here, I believe my care for garments isn't really lacking as I'm still able to wear garments I bought 10-20 years ago 😇
Although it might turn out to not be the most sustainable... 🧐
🧺
I wash me made garments together with RTW garments:
🌸 after 3-4 wears or when dirty
🌸 on low temperature
🌸 using ecological washing liquids from @ecover_be ➡️ Update 2025: I discovered washing strips from @brauzz_ and have been incorporating these into the laundry routine since last year, I don't use liquids anymore
🌸 using ecological stain removers like Savon de Marseille - thanks to @sakijane for introducing this method
🌸 with fabric softener as I don't like the smell but mostly feel of vinegar (still a bit too itchy for my skin), but it's also Ecover, so I hope that compensates a bit? ➡️ Update 2025: I don't use fabric softener anymore since the discovery of @brauzz_ products, with the exception of towels as they tend to feel like sandpaper without
🌸 air drying, much to Hubby's dislike I refuse to buy a dryer.
🧺
If there's anything else I could change for the sake of sustainability, I'd like to know 😊
