Tips for Making My Family Clothes Last Longer and a Family Dollar $25 GC Giveaway!

* I am working with P&G in promotion for their products. I received the same prize pack as the winner will receive. All my opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.*

FD-LogoOne thing I absolutely hate is when I buy new clothes and they ultimately get dirty. I decided to compile a list of tips to help our clothes last longer, in the hopes that they help someone out. I hope you enjoy these tips!

1. Make sure you buy quality clothes. A lot of times, I tend to buy cheap summer clothes which inevitably backfires on me. I like to call these clothes a one wash wonder and by the end of the week, the shirt has so many holes and grass stains in it, that it needs to be tossed.

2. Instead of throwing away clothes that have a small hole, use a patch to cover it up.  No reason why a perfectly good pair of pants with a small hole, can’t be covered up with some fabric you have stashed around your house.

3.  Make sure if clothes do get dirty, that you have spare clothes with you in your diaper bag or pocketbook. Nothing is worse than kids eating a messy meal out in public and then have a shirt full of stains.  By having an extra set of clothes, you can do a quick change and go to your next destination.

4.  Be sure to use quality laundry products like Tide and Gain. Here are some of the great, new products on the market:

 Gain Flings

An easier way to use Gain. These three-in-one single-use flings include 50% more scent, an oxi boost and the freshness of Febreze, for long-lasting freshness and cleaning power.

 Tide Simply Clean & Fresh

Offers a dependable clean and superior mal-odor removal

 Tide Plus Collection

Tide + Coldwater Clean

Coldwater cleaning with whitening ingredients

  Tide + Febreze Freshness

Provides long lasting freshness with an upgraded scent

Tide + A Touch of Downy

Makes clothes feel soft & fresh with an upgraded scent

   Tide + Bleach Alternative

Removes dinginess and gets whites whiter

 Tide + Febreze Sport

Removes body soils, odor and sweat stains

Tide + Ultra Stain Release

New Tide Ultra Stain Release will help remove 99% of everyday stains

  Ultra Stain Release is specially formulated with stain removal ingredients that work at the fiber level and has a new pre-treat stain Zap! Cap that lets you use Tide as both a detergent and a pre-treater on tough stains.

Family Dollar shoppers take pride in making their families’ look and feel their best, and clothes are an important part of that equation. Family Dollar offers the latest innovations in fabric care to assure your family has an affordable clean – a better clean for every dollar. The new P&G products will help keep your family’s clothes cleaner and are part of a regimen to keep them looking newer and lasting longer. Be sure to check out Family Dollar today for their  new and convenient fabric care options. 

Win it: One winner will receive the following gift pack:unnamed

$25 Family Dollar Gift Card, Downy Unstoppables , Gain Flings , Samples from the Tide Plus Collection.

For this giveaway, simply leave me a comment and tell me your #1 tip for making clothes last longer. For an additional +2 entry, tweet about this giveaway mentioning @dentistmel and @FamilyDollar. This can be done daily. Giveaway ends  April 15, 2014. Good luck!

    I love tide, I will only use tide. It just feels wrong to use another brand. You’re so right about buying quality clothes. Sure the cheap ones are cheap..at first, but then you end up paying again when you have to replace the one that is all holes and tears. Garage sale clothes from a quality store work good for me too. Great tips!

    My mother taught me a lot of tricks when growing up as she was very frugal: 1. spot clean something rather than wash the entire garment just because there is only one spot on it, 2. Hang clothing outdoors on a hanger to give it a fresh scent if it isn’t dirty and just have a little smell to it. 3. Always zip up the zippers when washing clothes so you don’t pull the zipper out of shape and it will last longer. 4. It is a nice day, hang laundry out to dry or inside in warm place. 5. If something is just a little wrinkled or needs freshening, dampen lightly, put it in the dryer with a dryer sheet for a short period. You can also just use a dampened but not soaking washcloth. 6. Steam wrinkles out by hanging the item you wish to get the wrinkles out of by hanging in the bathroom when someone is taking a steamy shower or bath.

    One way we make sure the clothes last longer is not to use a dryer. Ours doesn’t work anyways, but unless it has to be dry immediately (in which we take it to the laundry mat), we had the clothes outside. They don’t shrink or wrinkle, and just gently dry in the breeze.

    The first thing is to buy kid friendly clothes, comfortable cotton is high on the list. To keep the life in the clothes is to keep ahead of stains. I pretreated all stains as soon as the clothes are removed from the children. Milk and formula both are subject to growth of mold and mildew, which both stains and breaks down the fibers in the clothes. Pretreat in gallows you to wait a day or two to wash the clothes.

    My number one tip for making clothes last longer is washing them on a “quick” cycle instead of a normal/full cycle. It cleans them the exact same way but it doesn’t leave them to sit in the detergent and water, causing them to dull and wear out.

    If I wear a shirt only for a few hours, I will just hang it back up. Saves wear and tear on washing so often.

    When washing, I always turn my clothes inside out to prevent color fading. Also, I only dry clothes in the dryer for about 20 minutes and then complete drying on hanger. This helps to reduce fading and helps with electricity as well.

    I keep my clothing looking their best and lasting longer by using the correct laundry soap, following label instructions. Washing/drying jeans, shirts inside out to help reduce fading. I also include fabric softner in each wash cycle. And I use washer garment bags to prevent garments from being damaged or causing damage to other clothing being washed. And I also use BOUNCE dryer sheets they are another must for my laundry routine.

    My Number One Tip for making clothes last longer is washing more smaller loads of clothes of the same colors, like delicates or newer items that you really want to last. I don’t just throw a lot of clothes together in a load unless they are old and worn. I also use a water softener since we have hard water, that helps to get the clothes cleaner and keep them brighter longer. I also hang dry some shirts and then put them in the dryer on low with a fabric sheet for 20 minutes to soften them and keep them looking new or shrinking, especially 100% cotton items!

    My daughter always wants to throw her clothes in the hamper after she’s worn them, even if she only wore them for an hour. I remind her that washing them so often will wear them out more quickly, and that will cost her money!

    One way I like to extend the life of clothing is to use my clotheslines instead of the dryer whenever possible. All the lint that builds up in the dryer is little pieces of the fabric that has worn off from the clothing. My clothes are getting thinner and more worn out just from tumbling in the dryer! Plus, the clotheslines are environmental and help save money on the electrical bill. 🙂

    I rarely use the dryer for my clothing which helps them last longer. If drying on the clothesline, I hang inside out so they don’t fade in the sun. Otherwise, I hang in the house to dry and it really helps the clothes keep from breaking down!

    Everyone in my family has their own mesh bag for socks and underwear. That way the wash doesn’t eat them and they are easy to mate and get to the right person’s room.

    I don’t wash my clothes every time I wear them, esp. if it’s only for a short period of time, and I turn bright and/or bold colors and/or shirts with decals on them inside out- both when I wash them and when I dry them. I also don’t put certain things in the dryer.

    I’ve learned to use the right setting first with laundry. read the labels, cold water is usually best, and low to medium heat. I dry 90% of the way for items like jeans and things I don’t want wrinkled, and hang to finish drying.

    Also, it’s been recommended not to wash certain items of clothing after every use!
