Taking Care Of Spring & Summer Garments

Spring is here and summer is just around the corner, and that means it's time to break out some of our favorite sections of the wardrobe. Everyone loves a good sundress, a comfortable light button down, and to finally get to enjoy shorts weather – but to keep your clothing looking its best, you also need to take care of it the right way. At A Touch of Class, we're proud to provide valet dry cleaning delivery service throughout San Rafael, Ross, Marin County, and San Francisco, but caring for clothing goes beyond just valet dry cleaning. Here are some tips for keeping your spring & summer garments fresh, fun, and ready for the season!

How to Keep Your Spring & Summer Clothes in Great Shape

• Wash Light & White Colored Clothing Separately: If you don't already wash white clothes by themselves, it's time to start. Wash your white-colored clothing in a separate load of laundry, using a detergent with a bleach alternative to keep them as bright as possible.
• Rinse Your Bathing Suit: It may be tempting to just fling a wet bathing suit into the laundry bin, but the oils, sweat, and chlorine can easily set in and damage color and elasticity. Be sure to rinse your bathing suit right after use to protect it from damage before heading into the wash.
• Protect from Sunlight: Part of caring for clothes means storing them well, and during the summertime, sun is a concern. When exposed to sunlight for a long period of time, clothing can fade, turning your favorite colors and hues into pale shadows of their former selves. Store clothes in dark closets and containers far from the sun, and don't be afraid to throw a sachet of lavender or cedar chips in their to protect from bugs and keep everything fresh.
• Trust the Experts: Of course, if you really want your clothes cared for right, you need to leave it to the pros – and that's what we're here for. We'll pick your clothes up from your doorstep, give them luxury care and maintenance, and deliver them back to you folded, clean, and gorgeous.
