  1. 5 Essential Caring Tips For New Vintage Clothing Owners It’s no secret that vintage clothing is earning massive popularity these days. Part of the reason may be attributed to the fact that it’s now become a very convenient shopvintage clothing online. You could be sitting virtually anywhere in the habitable part of the world and can order your favorite vintage jackets, shirts, polo shirts or pretty much any other type of clothing from different online vintage clothing stores. However, while collecting vintage clothing has certainly become easy, it is still going to require an extra bit of care than your regular clothes. This is only because every piece of vintage clothing has had a prior life when it was in trend fashion. This is what makes them a true gem of our clothing history that needs to be preserved and taken care of. As someone who is new to vintage clothing, it’s okay if you’re not aware of how to maintain your most special section in the wardrobe. At least you’re a bit concerned with it and looking for answers online instead of throwing your vintage clothes into the washing machine with your regular clothes (a lot many people do it and they usually end up losing their vintage clothes after repeated machine washing). So, what’s the right way to wash your vintage clothes and keep them clean & shiny? We are listing down our top 5 cleaning tips for vintage clothing. Ready? Let’s begin!

  2. 1.Vintage Clothing Which is Safe For Machine Washing This seems like the opposite of what we’ve been talking about before, but here’s the catch: only a certain type of vintage clothes are safe to be put into your washing machine. Retro clothes made of polyester or cotton are generally safe to be washed with your regular clothes in the washing machine, and you won’t have to worry about loosened fabric even after multiple washes in a month. 2. Delicate Vintage Garments That Require Extra Careful We’ve talked about vintage clothes that are safe for a quick hand or machine wash. However, what’s more important is knowing which ones are definitely never to be washed in a machine. These vintage clothes are silk or wool, which you can probably tell, aren’t suited for hard washing. The right way to clean these clothes requires a soft hand wash while soaking them in warm water. Do not put any harsh detergents or any kind of cleaner with even the slightly higher levels of alkalinity in them. This could cause permanent damage to your beloved soft vintage clothes, so no need to risk losing them over carelessness. 3. Use Padded Hangers For Storing Your Vintage Clothing This is one of the most common pieces of advice that you will get on storing vintage clothing, and the one that is more than enough to follow to keep your vintage clothes in perfect shape as you take them out of your wardrobe. If you haven’t purchased padded hangers already, well, what are you waiting for?

  3. It need not be emphasized more that you can’t hang your vintage clothes on a wire hanger. If you’re doing that right now, stop immediately! Even if you don’t have padded hangers-on you right now, you can also go for plastic ones for the time being. But remember, if you really want to keep your vintage clothes in the right shape, padded hangers are a must. 4. The Best Way to Keep Your Vintage Clothes Free From Sweat Stains If you happen to live in relatively hotter areas, it’s hard to stop sweat from coming out of your armpits and, in significant cases, the upper part of your neck. But how to avoid getting perspiration stains on your vintage clothes? Well, unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do about it if you’re wearing your retro garments for the whole day. However, if you put on your vintage clothes only on special occasions for a few hours, there is a quick trick that might help. When you’re back home, just flip your clothes inside out and leave them hanging for the whole night. This will evaporate away all the sweat on the inside of your cloth very quickly and won’t leave a stain. 6. The Perfect Weather To Wear Vintage Clothing Now, we know special occasions don’t see what weather it is outside, but the more you get familiar with the type of climatic conditions suitable to wear vintage clothes, the easier it will be for you to decide if it is the right choice to wear. Sunlight is probably the biggest enemy of vintage clothes. As long as you can avoid exposing vintage garments for a couple of hours, you’re good to go! And yes, this means going out at night wearing vintage clothes is always a great idea!
