Do not store clothes that feel even slightly damp
Humidity slows drying and can leave moisture deep in seams, pockets and waistbands. Give garments enough air circulation and check thicker fabrics before putting them in a wardrobe. Storing damp fabric creates the conditions for odour and mildew.
Wash rain-soaked clothes promptly
Muddy water, road splash and sweat can leave marks and odour behind. Separate the item from clean laundry, follow its care label and do not use excessive heat if a stain is still visible. Delicates and dry-clean-only garments need professional assessment.
Give wardrobes air and space
A crowded cupboard traps humidity. Leave space between clothes, air wardrobes regularly and avoid putting a freshly ironed but still warm item directly into a tightly packed shelf.
Use professional care for special fabrics
Woollens, suits, embellished occasionwear and silk should be cleaned according to their label before longer storage. When you need help with a larger laundry load, check our service areas and schedule doorstep pickup.
