Our Guide to Prolonging the Life of Your Dresses
At AYANI, we are dedicated to helping you make the most of your cherished garments. Our clothing is designed with lasting quality in mind, and with a little care, you can extend their lifespan, save money, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Here are 6 practical tips on how to care for your AYANI dresses:
1. Wash Less
- The easiest way to care for your garments is to reduce the frequency of washing.
- Use eco-friendly detergents whenever possible to minimize environmental impact.
2. Switch to Cold Water
- Save up to 90 percent of energy by washing your clothes in cold water.
- When our care labels call for machine washing, we recommend using cold water.
3. Use Gentle Wash Program
- Using the gentle wash program vs standard wash program not only preserves the quality of your garments but also proves more energy-efficient, ultimately saving you money on your utility bills.
- Plus clothes come out with fewer wrinkles.
4. Hang or Line Dry
- Dryers consume a huge amount of energy, as well as are terrible for textiles. Tossing and tumbling in a dryer stresses the fabric and can cause real damage.
- Hang or line drying not only conserves energy but also helps preserve the fibers and extend the life of your garments.
5. Steam Instead of Iron
- Using a steamer not only saves energy but also freshens your clothes, reducing the need for dry cleaning.
- This simple switch can help you maintain the appearance and longevity of your favorite AYANI dresses.
6. Choose Plant-based Detergents
- Opt for products made from natural plant-based materials. They are far more gentle on the garment's fabric and your skin.
