First and foremost, I do salute you for watching this video.
00:00:06.000
I understand it's not the most exciting of topics, but it's important at least.
00:00:11.000
So I'll get straight into it so that you can take with you this into your life
00:00:16.000
and make your life better by making your clothes last longer and look better.
00:00:22.000
So if we're talking about certain materials that are sensitive,
00:00:26.000
sensitive in the way that they can react poorly upon,
00:00:33.000
So if we have organic cotton, for example, this is organic cotton.
00:00:40.000
It just feels good to have it on and it looks good, feels fresh.
00:00:44.000
So it's good in a lot of ways, but you have to be careful when you wash it.
00:00:48.000
So don't wash it in over 30 degrees Celsius, otherwise it might be damaged.
00:00:54.000
Same thing with such a glorious material as good old wool.
00:01:02.000
Wool is supremely sensitive when it comes to heat, so absolutely no higher than 30 degrees.
00:01:08.000
If your washing machine has the option of a hand wash, go with that.
00:01:13.000
If you can choose the rotations per minute, go with the lowest, which is usually 400.
00:01:18.000
Same thing if we're talking about linen, very sensitive to hot temperatures.
00:01:24.000
If you have a zipper on, make sure to zip it up and also make sure to, with most garments, to turn them inside out.
00:01:32.000
Then also, if we have something that is water printed, so have this.
00:01:38.000
This is how this looks like when you have washed it in 90 degrees.
00:01:46.000
Perhaps you can't see all too much of a difference, but there is a noticeable difference.
00:01:53.000
This has been washed in 30 degrees, 400 rotations per minute.
00:02:00.000
And this has been mugged in the washing machine.
00:02:07.000
So if you want to keep the colors, especially when you have water print.
00:02:09.000
And water print is when something is in the cloth as opposed to on the cloth.
00:02:18.000
Then also you can have some times it's on the cloth.
00:02:23.000
So if it's in the cloth, even more important for you to wash it carefully.
00:02:27.000
So the new releases, they have some water print as well.
00:02:32.000
Don't wash the new glorious garments in over 30 degrees.
00:02:43.000
So they will be a bit more wet when they get out of the washing machine.
00:02:50.000
That will also have the added benefit of that they will be less wrinkly when you take them out as well.
00:02:56.000
Because when you hang them to dry, they will smoothen themselves out more.
00:03:00.000
Then of course you can use an iron to make it even smoother and better.
00:03:04.000
But anyway, to conclude, if you have certain materials such as organic cotton, wool, linen, when you have cotton with a water print, do be mindful.
00:03:18.000
Use 400 rotations per minute and turn them inside out.
00:03:24.000
So anyway, again, not the most exciting video perhaps, but do this and your garments will hold longer.
00:03:33.000
Take care of your clothes and they will take care of you.
00:03:37.000
Thank you for watching and thank you to everyone who has ordered from the new releases.
