Take care of your winter clothes

Now that winter is here, you are definitely taking winter clothes out of storage. Because of this, we have searched far and wide to find you the things you can do to make your stored wrinkled clothes ready to be worn this winter!

Inspect: You can start with a basic inspection. Be on the lookout for moth holes; especially in wool and cashmeres. Some holes you find will probably be non reversible but you can patch up the rest of the holes using your local drycleaner. If you'd rather do it yourself, you can buy a wool filling kit online and you are set to go. 

Puff it back: For those coats that might have lost their natural puff since last winter, you can hang them in the bathroom during a really hot shower and let them reinflate. A few steamy baths later, they'll be as good as new. 

Get rid of the smells: The easiest and quickest way to get rid of musty smells is by visiting the drycleaner. Another unique way to get rid of smell is to add cleaning alcohol with water and scrub whatever smells. The alcohol will help kill a lot of that odor.   

Do a shoe check: Take a look at all your winter shoes! Insepct the leather of your boots, the black cops on your heels and the taps of your shoes and switch them out or take them to a store if they need to be repaired. Rubber soles are a great way to add more grip and extend the lifespan of your shoes.

Reorganise: Since you are taking time out to clean your winter wear, this might provide a great opportunity to reorganise. Put everything back in order and colour coordinate your winter wardrobe. It goes without saying that furs will be away from light at the back of your closet. 

You are now set for winter wear this season!
