It’s a new year and who wouldn’t want to make the most of it.

Feeling good about yourself, even though it’s wrong to admit it, has a great deal to do with what you are wearing and how you present yourself to the world. It doesn’t matter if you are donning the latest fashion from the runway, or a favourite that has been around for years, it’s about how you feel when you are wearing it.

“Our clothes represent us, and how we want others to see us,” Sarah Webb, brand manager for Personal Touch, “which is why it is important to keep them in good condition. How our clothes look is just as important as making sure that our hair is washed and styled to perfection. An outfit can make a big statement– we just need to make sure it makes the right one.”

Here are a few ideas to help you get the most out of your favourite clothing:

  1. Read the label. We all ignore the label when we do the laundry, but the truth is it wouldn’t be on there if it wasn’t necessary. If you know that you are not going to hand wash the wool item you are considering buying – then don’t buy it.
  2. Wash dark items inside out to stop them from fading too quickly, as the items rub against each other in the washing machine which causes fading to occur. Darker garments tend to fade quicker than lighter ones and a lot of this has to do with over-washing.
  3. Wash your clothes less, as this decreases stretching, fading and overall damaging of your clothing. If it is not dirty, don’t wash it.
  4. Get out stains immediately; don’t let them set. Use a product that is known to work with a gentle touch and doesn’t require countless washes and retries. When it comes to gentle but effective care, Personal Touch has made use of their expertise and experience in this category when creating their stain remover. The Personal Touch Fabric Stain Remover’s triple action formula protects your clothes’ colours, is free from chlorine and delivers powerful stain penetration while keeping your clothes in good condition with the product’s soft touch technology It is available in a pre-wash stain remover and an in-wash fabric stain remover powder.
  5. Rotate your clothes. Try not to wear the same outfit over and over again, as this decreases the lifespan of your clothes due to over-washing and over-wearing. By rotating your repertoire of outfits, you are not only increasing your wear out of them but branching out and exploring other styles and fashion choices.
