    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!

      @@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.

In fact, joint efforts of all the early PlanetCare users have already attracted the attention of policymakers.

    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 : )

      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
      @tamcon72 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      @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.

    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. 👕👖💙

    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.

    Thanks Justine, I've just ordered a PlanetCare kit. I enjoy your videos. I'm more of a "make, buy secondhand, or refashion... and never get rid of it" than a capsule wardrobe person, but I appreciate we all make an effort to tread lightly in our own ways.

    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!

    Thank you for the useful video! I'm lucky that I can store all my clothes in closets or cubbies. I do get cedar wood balls that I can easily tuck in the cubbies with my sweaters and cedar blocks for the closets - especially the coat closet which has wool coats and cashmere scarves,

    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.

    Living in North Queensland Australia, it is almost the same clothes year round. Winter is one or two light jumpers (sweaters), jeans & one denim jacket.
    These are cleaned and stored for next winter - same as you do. I have had the same jeans & jacket now for 3-6 years.
    I spend more on summer clothing as I get more wear over 10 1/2 months of the year, I also layer same clothing for “winter” eg a cami underneath a summer shirt. Summer is lots of cotton and linens.
    Keep the good work - love ALL of your content.

    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!

    Hello, Justine, I love lavender sachets, but last year the moths were terrible. After cleaning everything I added pieces of cedar loosely wrapped in tissue paper to protect fabrics. The cedar came in a kit with a variety of shapes, including balls, flat rectangles and little rings that fit around hanger hooks. So far no moths, and the clothes I stored are also fine. Now I’m shopping for some fabric storage containers! Thanks for the tips!

    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. 🙂

    Winters at my place are cold and humid. What I am trying for storing my summer clothes now is those vacuum zip lock bags, hoping no humidity and air will result in well protected clothes, also these save a lot of space.

  • @stefs3460

    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!

    Thank you for an informative video. I put cloves and cardamons in themuslom along with the clothes. I wrap them in old bed sheeta and then put in same fabric containers as you have mentiones. We normally have long summers and very few month winter. Sun is always there even winter so we can always put our clothes under bright sun. As far as sandals and shoes are concerned I keep in plastic and in the shoe boxes we dont need to keep them for too long as we live in hot humid city. Love from Pakistan

    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
      @nastisusnjara1242 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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!

    Blessings to you, Justine, for striving to make the world a better place. I only buy bio-degradable materials and have lately also bought several second-hand clothes, which was a good experience, so I will stick to it. I also mend my clothes or, if too difficult for me, I have them mended. I would really like to buy clothes from sustainable brands, but I never find anything there that I could wear in the Office or else does not look ridiculous on me with my short torso and little belly. But I will continue looking now with a strengthened resolution, thanks to your video!
