A few weeks ago, I went out of town which meant hubby was responsible for doing the laundry in my absence. In this case I usually come home to a shrunk, stretched or faded shirt. I got to thinking that we really need to invest in better products to help protect our clothes and keep them in the same great condition for years to come.

However, keeping our clothes in new condition can be a super difficult task without the proper care. Dry cleaning can be expensive and not an affordable option for many. I began my research and found some that are hubby friendly! 😊

1. In-Home Dry-Cleaning Kit

Skip the hassle, expense and harsh chemicals of the dry cleaner and use an in-home dry-cleaning kit.  This kit from Dryel includes 14 loads (5 garments per load), patented steam bag, stain and odor removal spray, and on the go stain removal pen for under $20.

3. Cashmere and Fine Wool Comb

 

Don’t throw out those cashmere sweaters just yet! These cashmere combs will remove all the fuzz, pills and even lint. They come in cedar or plastic. The cedar comb emits a wonderful, sweet aroma that makes it ideal for storing in a dresser drawer or closet in the off-season. Cedar wood also had the added benefit of being a natural bug repellant.
