At REASYKL , we are convinced that small repairs and maintenance of your favorite pieces can transform a simple garment into a wardrobe essential. Whether it's to mend a hem, remove a stain or maintain the materials, today we share with you our best tips for easily maintaining your clothes and giving them the care they deserve. Simple and practical tips guaranteed!
Sew on buttons and repair zippers
It's common for buttons to come off or zippers to get stuck, but that's no reason to put your clothes away in the closet! To fix this, REASYKL recommends that you put together a small sewing kit now: a little thread, a few needles, some spare buttons... you'll be ready for the next step! To sew on a button, simply secure it firmly with matching thread and reinforce your stitching by making several passes. As for zippers, a blockage can often be resolved by rubbing a small amount of soap or beeswax to make it slide easier. If the zipper is broken, consider replacing just the slider before throwing the piece away.
Repair holes and tears
A hole in your favorite sweater? Don't panic! Our REASYKL experts suggest using a simple mending technique: for a discreet hole, a matching thread is often enough to hide the tear. You can also opt for iron-on patches for a creative touch that will personalize your clothes while hiding the tear. In just a few minutes, your garment will not only be repaired but will also have a unique and stylish look.
Removing stubborn stains
Some accidents happen and stains can seem insurmountable, but REASYKL reveals simple tips for treating them at home! Depending on the type of stain, you can use basic products such as white vinegar, baking soda or talcum powder. Here are some tips for each type of stain:
- Grease Stains : Immediately apply talcum powder or cornstarch to the stain to absorb the oil. Then brush and wash according to the label directions.
- Red wine stains : Sprinkle a little salt on the stain to absorb the liquid, then rinse with cold water and machine wash.
- Sweat Stains : A mixture of white vinegar and water applied before washing helps remove marks without damaging the fibers.
These home tips are practical and effective for keeping your clothes clean without harsh products.
Restoring shape to misshapen clothes
Over time, some knitwear or cotton garments can lose their shape. REASYKL recommends a simple method: hand wash these garments in cold water with a little mild shampoo, then let them dry flat on a towel to prevent them from losing their shape further. For wool sweaters that have stretched, you can also try to "tighten" them by washing them in lukewarm water, then gently shaping them to restore their original shape.
If a cotton garment has shrunk, soak it in warm water with a little fabric softener or baby shampoo, then gently stretch it before letting it dry.
Maintaining your clothes to prevent repairs
To prevent repairs as much as possible, REASYKL recommends some good maintenance habits that will extend the life of your clothes and keep their materials and colors in good condition.
- Wash less often : Frequent washing cycles wear out the fibers of your clothes. Wash them only when necessary and choose a low temperature wash.
- Use gentle cycles : Short programs and low temperatures are less aggressive on fabrics. This allows you to maintain the brightness of colors and the suppleness of materials.
- Store properly : To avoid creases and deformations, hang clothes that wrinkle easily and fold sweaters or other knitwear.
