=== Take Care of Your Clothes (03:45) ===

[00:00:01]  Greetings, Larringtons.
[00:00:03]  First and foremost, I do salute you for watching this video.
[00:00:06]  I understand it's not the most exciting of topics, but it's important at least.
[00:00:11]  So I will get straight into it so that you can take with you this into your life and make your life better by making your clothes last longer and look better.
[00:00:22]  So if we're talking about certain materials that are sensitive, sensitive in the way that they can react poorly upon being washed in a ruthless manner.
[00:00:33]  So if we have organic cotton, for example, this is organic cotton.
[00:00:37]  Feels absolutely great, mate, to have on.
[00:00:40]  It just feels good to have it on and it looks good, feels fresh.
[00:00:44]  So it's good in a lot of ways, but you have to be careful when you wash it.
[00:00:48]  So don't wash it in over 30 degrees Celsius, otherwise it might be damaged.
[00:00:54]  Same thing with such a glorious material as the good old wool.
[00:00:58]  So you have this Atlantic marine wool sweater.
[00:01:02]  Wool is supremely sensitive when it comes to heat.
[00:01:05]  So absolutely no higher than 30 degrees.
[00:01:08]  If your washing machine has the option of a hand wash, go with that.
[00:01:13]  If you can choose the rotations per minute, go with the lowest, which is usually 400.
[00:01:18]  Same thing if we're talking about linen, very sensitive to hot temperatures.
[00:01:23]  So go the same thing there.
[00:01:24]  If you have a zipper on, make sure to sip it up and also make sure to, with most garments, to turn them inside out.
[00:01:33]  Then also, if we have something that is water printed, so have this.
[00:01:37]  This is water printed.
[00:01:38]  This is how this looks like when you have washed it in 90 degrees.
[00:01:42]  So you see it's not as vivid as this.
[00:01:47]  Perhaps you can't see all too much of a difference, but there is a noticeable difference.
[00:01:51]  This is as it should be.
[00:01:53]  This has been washed in 30 degrees, 400 rotations per minute, so a low agitation wash.
[00:02:00]  And this has been mugged in the washing machine.
[00:02:03]  So you can see the difference there.
[00:02:05]  This is more vivid.
[00:02:06]  So if you want to keep the colours, especially when you have waterprint, and water print is when something is in the cloth as opposed to on the cloth.
[00:02:14]  So here is embroidered, by the way.
[00:02:16]  This is printed in the cloth.
[00:02:18]  Then also you can have sometimes it's on the cloth.
[00:02:22]  It feels a bit different.
[00:02:23]  So if it's in the cloth, even more important for you to wash it carefully.
[00:02:26]  So the new releases, they have some water print as well.
[00:02:29]  So don't wash it.
[00:02:32]  Don't wash the new glorious garments in over 30 degrees.
[00:02:35]  Use a low agitation program, so a low rotations per minute, and you can hang them to dry as well.
[00:02:43]  So if you will be a bit more wet when they get out of the washing machine, then you hang them to dry.
[00:02:50]  That will also have the added benefit of that they will be less wrinkly when you take them out as well.
[00:02:56]  Because when you hang them to dry, they will smoothen themselves out more.
[00:03:00]  Then of course you can use an iron to make it even smoother and better.
[00:03:05]  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, don't wash them in over 30 degrees Celsius.
[00:03:18]  Use 400 rotations per minute and turn them inside out, hang them to dry.
[00:03:24]  So anyway, again, not the most exciting video perhaps, but do this and your garments will hold longer.
[00:03:33]  Take care of your clothes and they will take care of you.
[00:03:36]  Thank you for watching and thank you to everyone who has ordered from the new releases.
