Cold weather affects your clothes more than you think — colors fade faster, fabrics stiffen, and hoodies stretch when dried indoors. Here’s how to protect your wardrobe during winter.
1. Wash Less Often
Winter air is dry, so clothes don’t get as sweaty. Washing less = longer life.
2. Avoid Over-Drying Indoors
Low humidity increases shrinkage. Use warm airflow instead of blasting heat.
3. Use Vinegar to Maintain Softness
Winter dryness makes clothes feel stiff. Add ½ cup vinegar for softness.
4. Prevent Static Build-Up
- Use dryer balls
- Don’t overdry
- Use a humidifier
5. Take Extra Care With Sweaters
Sweaters stretch and pill more in winter.
- Wash in cold water
- Dry flat on a towel
- Use a fabric shaver monthly
6. Air Out Clothes Weekly
Indoor drying = trapped odors. Hang clothes outside for 30 minutes on dry days.
7. Protect Hoodies From Stretching
Dry hoodies flat. Avoid hanging heavy winter hoodies.
