The most sustainable garment is the one you already have in your closet. We recommend that you create your own wardrobe in a more sustainable way (see our recommendation) , we will help you select your basic garments so that you can mix and match to your liking without losing your style.

2: (RE)CONSIDER

It is very important to reduce the number of garments that end up in landfills due to fading, shrinkage and deformation as a result of, for example, excessive washing. For this reason, as part of our mission to wash well , we invite you to only wash your clothes when necessary with natural laundry soaps like those from Home Healthy Home, because each type of garment requires its own care. Natural fibers such as wool can last between 7 and 10 uses without washing, but they need a soap that promotes hydration, such as our soap Nº 13 , while mixed garments can last up to a month, for which we recommend our soap Nº14. . We recommend that you read our blog article: "how to choose the most suitable detergent" . Do not forget to add our dryer balls to your washing machines which, in addition to saving energy, prevent your clothes from suffering more in the spin cycle or in the dryer.
