Is your closet ready for winter?
Colder weather lies just ahead. Have you given any thought to how well groomed your family will be this winter?
The National Institute of Dry Cleaning suggests that Good Grooming Week, November 16-22, is an excellent time to make your clothes closet ready for the new winter reason. A critical inventory win eliminate clothes you no longer wear.
A guide has been established by the N.I.D. that may help you decide what should be discarded.
Discard:
♦Moth-damaged clothes: The clothes may be in good condition except for that small damaged area. You think you will eventually have the hole rewoven, but you never do so chances are you never will. The same goes for those with cigarette bums.
♦Old party clothes: Your problem here is that last year’s formal or cocktail dress is outdated. It may be perfectly good, but you’ll never wear it if it is out of fashion.
♦Clothes that have lost their shape: Garments may become overstretched with wear at points of strain, elbows, knees, or seat of the garment. Some may elongate at the sleeve and hemline. Others may shrink in washing or appear to have shrunk because you have put on weight. The garment cannot be re-shaped - even with professional block.
♦Clothes you damaged by home spot removal or home pressing: You wanted to save money! You knew you could remove spots and stains, just like the professionals, or you could press a garment as well.
♦Worn out clothes: You know you’ll never wear them again; so get rid of them. Dates:
