These are the kind of videos EVERYONE should be watching. Learning how to take care of your clothing (or any of your stuff really) is important and useful to every generation, but especially to the younger ones, that seem to not be aware that this is very much a part of self-care practices. Thank you Justine for your work.

The gray-water filter is such welcome information. After years of supporting recycled plastic bottle fleece garments, it was a shock to discover the shed fibers from washing them were showing up in large numbers of dead marine life. Though as you say, the fibers are small, they were of such density in cubic square meters of ocean water that it was seriously impacting many species, even whales, having clogged their gills and invading their digestive systems. I’m hopeful they will soon be marketed for apartment dwellers, as we are unable to install permanent fixtures. Justine, I so enjoy your videos. Having run an anti-slavery NGO, it was devastating how unreceptive many were to the harm caused by fast fashion. I pass on your videos to many, and you help me to stay current now that I’ve retired from business suits to more relaxed styles. Thank you!

@@Jacquelinenht1 I bought a GuppyFriend laundry bag, which I toss microfiber items into before wash, then take them out of the bag for drying. The bag is supposed to collect the microfiber filaments, much similar to how @justine leconte officiel says her machine filter works. I liked the bag so well I gifted one to my daughter.

@gurl066 2 года назад

@@lindas.1751 I have researched and other solutions available on the market do not prevent microfiber pollution. You have to pick up the fibers that get caught and throw them in the trash or down the drain - back into our environment, which means you have not solved the problem. Luckily, PlanetCare closes that loop when you send the filters back and they recycle all the fibers. Great solution and I just ordered one. Thanks for raising awareness about this. Very important topic.

My grandma taught me to store wool, cashmere and silk in a cotton bag, because moths don’t eat cotton. She had a fur coat which she also put in a big cotton bag and she sewed it shut. I still follow her advice, I find old pillow cases with zippers to be very useful.

Justine, an old wardrobe mistress's trick for sanitizing shoes and delicate clothes instead of laundering (or if laundering regularly isn't possible) is 1 part distilled water to 1 part vodka in a spray bottle. This is how I sanitize the inside of shoes and handmade blouses and fine knits: I saturate the insoles of the footwear or the armpit area of the blouse or sweater with this solution, and then air dry fully before storing the footwear or garment. Works especially well on winter boots before storing them for the warmer months. Appreciate all these tips; ThanksForPosting : )

@Maja0001 2 года назад

If you are using 1 part water to 1 part vodka, you get solution of only 20% alcohol and that is far too watery to have effect on bacteria

@tamcon72 2 года назад

@Katharina Funk Good vodka has a higher alcohol content, and while 70% is necessary to sanitize surfaces like skin sanitizing of textiles is possible at a higher dilution. I have been using pure 90% alcohol to disinfect during the pandemic, but the tip I give is not for viral neutralizing! For just sanitizing shoes and shirts, vodka and distilled water work fine.

In India, many families use stainless steel trunks or almirahs for storing clothes. They may not look trendy/classy/stylish but saved the expensive silk and woolen garments for years. All of my silk sarees have been in storage since forever. Every year, around twice a year, I take them out, let them some sunlight for a few hours or dry clean them and put them back in storage.

@pegsbarton6353 2 года назад

It seems odd that you have kept these items for so long but not used them? I can understand keeping say a wedding dress or some lovely fabric for future use but to just have things in storage indefinitely seems really pointless.

I absolutely loved this video! We need more of these practical tips! I have a tip too: iron and/or steam iron your clothes! High temp kills most germs. Of course some materials are not suitable for high temp or any ironing at all, so make sure to check the labels. I have also discovered that ironing makes clothes look better for longer time, and it gives me more joy to actually wear them. I iron all my cotton clothes, even those that could be "ok" without and they look almost as good as new every time I reach for them. 👕👖💙

@raraavis7782 2 года назад

Finally a like-minded soul 😉 I've been telling this to people for years: ironing does more than just remove wrinkles. It makes clothes look newer and better quality. It's well worth the time and effort, if you want to look a little more polished.

Hi Justine, thanks for all this great information. Unfortunately I had an unhappy experience with one of the storage containers recommended here. I followed your instructions carefully, and, when I opened the box yesterday to take out my wool clothing, found several live moths. I had to dispose of three good wool sweaters. Any suggestions? Would compression storage help? Sealing the seams on the boxes? Thank you.

@brifren2 2 года назад

Well Justine, my tips are just the same as yours :) Maybe because we are both from France where taking care of our clothes is usually something we are taught at a young age. Maybe it's part of our culture. I've had some of my garments for decades (the timeless chic type that never really goes out of fashion), and they are still in great condition. Of course, clothes used to be of much better quality then. Your presentation was wonderful as always and it was a great idea! Today's society is so quick to throw away things... we need to think of the consequences for our planet and us

@LumyTheQueen Год назад

I store most of my shoes in these proper plastic cases with breathable holes. They're stackable and easy to store on the lower shelf of my Closet, away from sunlight. For long boots, I have a fabric storage unit for each pair. For clothing, I store most of it on hangers inside those "suit cases" with zippers, mostly made of fibers and breathable. I have a lot of dresses and storing them on hangers (folded in half, so as to stretch the shoulder straps) ensures they will stay unwrinkled until next season.

@christinat.7171 2 года назад

Had no idea that the laundry was creating plastic waste. Glad you brought it up. Will look into that filter. I have a closet on the back wall which gets very cool/dry in the winter, so I keep everything in there. Seems to work okay. Never knew you could get your shoes professionally cleaned. Great idea, especially for the expensive ones. So informative. Have a blessed day ❤🤗❤🤗

I have put away my off season clothes for about 35 years now, ever since I had a closet that was literally a broom closet. I can’t imagine not doing it. But I must admit I rushed a bit this year and put some away that were not freshly laundered. You have convinced me to pull them out and do it right. 🙂

@cockatooinsunglasses7492 Год назад

3:56 For those allergic to lavender, crush bay leaves or dried rosemary in a cotton fabric and tie it up to make an herbal sachet. My mom would put bay leaves in pockets and shoes for long term storage, we never got moths. Meanwhile everyone else in the neighborhood would get them constantly. If you are using separate bay leaves, be sure to rub them together for a little bit until the smell intensifies. Dried rosemary can also work just as well if not even better.

For those that can't currently afford the washing machine filter, the Guppyfriend laundry bag is an affordable option - you put your synthetic garments in that before putting them in the wash and it'll catch the microfibres.

@nastisusnjara1242 2 года назад

The challenge with Guppyfriend is what to do with microfibers once you catch them. If you throw them in the trash bin they'll end up in landfills anyway... If we really want to stop pollution at home, we need to make sure that microfibers are properly recycled - that's why the closed loop service such as the one of Planetcare is the future.

Something I love to do when I change over, particularly from summer to winter, and clean items - is if an item is a favourite, but looking a little tired, I change the colour by dyeing it.

One thing I often think of is that layering works splendidly outdoors, with a backpack to put clothes in as the weather changes. It is less functional moving around town and getting to work in winter, when it is very cold outdoors and warm indoors. Then you need a good, warm covering coat or long jacket, and not too warm clothes beneath, so that you can unbutton your coat/jacket and put hat and gloves in your pockets or bag, and loosen your scarf as soon as you board a bus or train, or walk into a store and not be baked inside too heavy clothing.

I wash my wool sweaters once a year by hand, and if I don't wear that much I don't. Wool can't stand much washing. I don't want to risk shrinking.( I think one other youtuber has tips for how to wash and take care of these gourmets at home.) Lavender is the best against insects.

Sort out all your nice work stuff and emergency party gear too at the same time. I buy new comfy and warm insoles for my shoes and boots ( live in Edinburgh ) need to be ready for anything when the weather changes!

One tip I use if you use dryer sheets for drying your clothes, Save them and stuff them in your stored shoes and purses. It helps retain the shape and also helps gets rid of the musty smell. I also use used dryer sheets as cleanup wipes for cleaning the inside of the washing machine door, Window, and getting the dust off the knobs. Love your videos and the tip about the filter!

Your video is a must see! I learned so much and I am 74 and I thought I knew everything about putting my clothes and shoes away seasonally. I will watch this video many times. Thank you Justine! See you next time! ❤️ Suzy

Thank you so much for the filter recommendation! I’ve been researching ways to deal with this, but most of the systems I’ve heard about in the US only deal with catching the fibers. This is the first system I’ve heard of that has a way to recycle the collected waste!

Great to hear about the filter !

@justineleconte 2 года назад

great! I think it is a real solution... to a major problem, that no one else in the industry had tackled yet. So I'm happy to promote it on my RU-vid :-)

@heidihaeni7783 2 года назад

After starting to sort summer clothes, I started seeing large stains, and wondered how they got that way. Now I know, thanks to your video.

@beegreentoday 2 года назад

The filter thing is so cool!🤩 I solved the problem, with microplastics in clothes, by only buying and using non-plastic garments (except elastane, which releases a very small amount of microplastics). But I love that you brought the topic and a solution up🤩🌸💐

@justineleconte 2 года назад

that's a great way to go. However most garments (even 100% natural fabrics) use polyester thread, for instance, because cotton thread just breaks way too quickly. So it's really hard to not produce microfibers at all unfortunately...

Just for you Justine, I’m going to dump out all my clothes that I jammed into a garbage bag, and shoved into my closet, and mulligan 🤟🤗

@beulahbenade4098 2 года назад

I'm from South Africa in a region where winters aren't too cold so I just layer during winter and I'm also a minimalist so my wardrobe stays as it is during the year, apart from decluttering or adding pieces of course. Very grateful for that. I can't bear the thought of wearing thick winter garments for long periods of time. Thanks for the tips!! I've been storing stuff the wrong way!!!!

@katyb2793 2 года назад

I'm in Australia and I don't see the point of storing away clothes either as the seasons aren't so clear cut. One day on Christmas could be anywhere from 15 to 35 degrees. The only thing worth storing away would be summer dresses since the window of opportunity to wear them is much shorter. Wearing heavy knits does kind of suck too, I agree with you! Especially heavy winter coats. I don't think I'd survive a super cold place haha

@beulahbenade4098 2 года назад

@@katyb2793 I would definitely not survive a cold place. First of all I don't have suitable clothes or shoes. I own one coat and one pair of boots. I don't like pants so I have lots of summer dresses. And also I would become very depressed when a winter lasts too long. Even our winter, where maybe two weeks are really cold and dark, affects my mood!!

@stefs3460 2 года назад

Great video! I will switch from plastic bins to cloth and that was very interesting about the microfiber! I was so suprised how much plastic waste is produced by only 3 loads! Many states in US are doing away with plastic shopping bags and here we are throwing an equivalent of a bag in the ocean every 3 loads!

@kbear1275 2 года назад

I use cedar balls instead of moth balls for storage of my cashmere and merino wool sweaters. They seem to work quite well. Clothes don’t get that horrible chemical smell from the moth balls. The only thing I’ve found with the cedar balls is that twice a year I have to take sandpaper to them to re-release the cedar smell to be more effective again. I have forgotten to sandpaper them for over a year but they do still seem to work at keeping the bugs and moths away.

Never realized that it not the best idea to store in plastic containers. Thank you for this informative video.

@cuppajavaplease 2 года назад

Great video and a perfect follow-up to your minimalism video. When we own fewer clothes it is important to make the ones we have last. I am trying to avoid waste in many areas of my life but especially food, clothing and spending. This video was full of good ideas to help me do that. Thanks!

@TK-fm5ud 2 года назад

Justine I feel like I’m in a style rut. I don’t even have enough clothes that still fit me properly after this past year of being indoors and sedentary. Here in Australia we are coming into Spring/Summer; I’d love to feel confident and be able to shop for clothes that make me feel like ready to take on the world. But to be honest I don’t even know what I like anymore. I don’t know where to start. What basics I might need to fill in my wardrobe. I feel averse to online shopping because of being bombarded with too many options. Would you do a video on how I could get my mojo back in the clothes department 😂 It would mean the world to me 🙏

I have an old wardrobe in our basement for out of season clothes. Everything is stored the same way as usual. I'm quite lucky to have the space for that. Against moths I use cedarwood.

@kerstinhoyer4526 2 года назад

Thanks for a great video! I don't store away any seasonal clothes but have a large collection of wool garments. I use them all year around, but some of them I don't use so frequently. I've stored them in a plastic box with moth balls in my closet so far but will change to a cotton bag which will also look so much nicer in my closet. 🙂
