Garment Care

The single most important thing you can do to lessen your clothes’ footprint is to use them for longer. Up to 25% of a garment’s environmental footprint happens after we buy it (source: wrap.org). That means the way we care for our clothes has a big impact on our planet. The best cared for garments–those that are passed on for generations – are the ultimate form of fashion luxury, if you ask us.  

Here are some easy tips:

• Wash less, air dry more.

• Spot-clean stains. 

• Don’t wash jeans too often. Try refreshing hacks instead, like airing them or putting them into the freezer. 

• If you need to wash your jeans, wash inside out.  

• Wash on lower temperatures to save energy and don’t use too much detergent. 

• Avoid dry cleaning and tumble drying when you can.  

• Remember to zip up your garments before washing to avoid damage. 

• Use washing bags to protect your garments.  

• Once you’re done with a garment, recycle it. Give it to a friend or a charity, resell it or leave it at a Weekday store and we will recycle it for you… and give you 10% off your next purchase.
