April 10, 2024
Step into style
Your clothes deserve love—and with the right care, they’ll love you back. At KnitKnot, we believe that proper garment care extends the life of your wardrobe while reducing your environmental impact. It doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, it can be simple, sustainable, and even satisfying.
Taking better care of your clothes isn’t just about avoiding damage. It’s about preserving shape, color, and quality over time. With just a few small changes, you can enjoy your favorite pieces longer and reduce unnecessary waste.

Wash smart, not hard
Over-washing can damage fibers and shorten your clothing’s lifespan. Our tip? Wash only when needed and use gentle settings every time.
Cold water protects colors and saves energy.
Use a mesh bag for delicate items.
Skip the dryer—air dry to prevent shrinkage.
Eco-friendly detergent keeps fabrics clean and chemical-free.
Turn garments inside out to prevent wear.
Store with care
How you store your clothes affects their longevity. Fold heavy knits, hang light fabrics, and avoid overstuffing your closet. Give every piece breathing room.
Use wooden hangers for structured garments and avoid wire ones that stretch or warp fabric.
Handle stains the smart way
Spot cleaning saves time and fabric life. Treat spills quickly with natural stain removers or a gentle soap and water combo. The sooner, the better.
Avoid harsh chemicals—they can break down materials and cause fading.
Repair, don’t replace
Don’t toss your favorite shirt because of a loose thread or missing button. A small fix goes a long way—and keeps your clothing rotation going strong.
Invest in a basic repair kit and learn easy hand-stitching techniques for quick fixes.
