It may seem strange and unhygienic to think about washing any type of clothing or accessory once a year, but with this practice, the website guarantees that you will keep them in better condition over time.
Tome note!
1. Your real jeans
Real jeans, also known as old school jeans, are the ones that look even better with wear, not the ones that are 45% lycra and need to be washed all the time.
The pure cotton present in real jeans is more exposed to the risks of constant washing. You can wash it once a year and keep it clean and smelling good until the next wash with a flavoring spray.

2. Your cardigan
Another item you can wash once a year is your cardigan. You can do dry cleaning at the end of each cold season, but more than that is overkill.
- With the help of a soft brush or brush, you can free it from dust after use and keep it in shape.
- Then you can place it on a sturdy wooden hanger and make sure there is plenty of space in the closet for it to breathe.

3. That amazing poncho you bought at the thrift store
No one knows how old your poncho is and how it has been treated, so don’t try your luck in the washing machine.
Naturally, you should arrange for a good hand wash when you buy it, but after that, treat your heavy fabrics like the poncho the same way you would your wool coats: give it a good brushing and brushing and don’t forget plenty of air.

4. Your leather jacket

6. Your wedding ring
Wearing your ring all the time and keeping it on when you wash your hands and shower is enough to keep it clean.
Every year, consider a visit to the jeweler so that he can check its conservation and provide a clean steam wash, getting rid of dirt and oil that may be embedded in the piece.

7. Your felt hat
Yes, you can also wash your felt hat once a year.
The woolen hat you always wear on colder days can absorb oil from your hair very easily and needs to be washed constantly, but the felt hat you wear on weekends or in special situations is much less absorbent.
To keep it clean, just brush it (in one direction) and let it get some air upside down. This will prevent sweat from running down the sides of the hat.
