Garment Care

With around 900 million items of clothing going to landfill every year, we can all join the fight against disposable fashion by taking greater care of our garments. For a start, most clothing benefits from correct storage but so often items are thrown down on chairs and stuffed haphazardly into crowded wardrobes and drawers. We offer a great range of clothes hangers, including padded for delicate items, to revolutionary 'bendy' hangers that conform to the shape of the garment without creating bumps and bulges - perfect for cardies, jumpers, dresses and blouses. In the footwear department, all your tight-fitting boots and shoes can be eased with proper cobblers' stretchers to add extra 'give' across the length and width. And they'll help your footwear keep in shape, to boot. Meanwhile if you're storing clothes against an outside wall, damp and mildew can be a problem, but by using one of our dehumidifying gadgets, you can maintain a correct balance of humidity to keep clothes fresh at all times. To guard against moths eating your precious cashmere and woollen clothing, scatter a few cedar balls amongst the shelves. Moths hate the smell of cedar and while it's a nicer alternative to foul-smelling chemical mothballs, it'll also gently add fragrance to clothes stored in drawers and wardrobes.
