6 Low-Waste Ways to Refresh Your Wardrobe

Celebrate Earth Day the Celsious way with a closet refresh! Since we're in the business of care, "out with the old and in with the new" is not our approach. We aim to make things last as long as possible due to the sheer amount of textiles that get tossed out in the United States each year (nearly 17 million tons!). 😱

Here are 6 ways to whip your wardrobe into shape without creating much waste:

1️⃣ Spruce up your garments

Sometimes all a garment needs is a little brushing or de-pilling with a fabric shaver or sweater stone to look as good as new!

2️⃣ Tackle some light mending projects

Sew buttons back on, reweave wool snags or get creative with visible mending to bring pieces back into the rotation. 🧵 The Endery offers mending kits and has great mending inspo on Instagram.

3️⃣ Stock up on stain-fighting essentials

Blasting stains, brightening graying whites or boosting colors can take your well worn pieces from drab to fab. We have everything you need for this in our online shop.

4️⃣ Dye over/around any stains

If a stain has set, you can still salvage the garment with a fun botanical tie-dye. We recommend Cara Marie Piazza's workshops and online classes for natural dyeing

5️⃣ Show your sneakers some love

Clean your kicks with the care guide in our IG reels that we put together for our friends in sustainability, plant-based running lifestyle brand Zen Running Club.

6️⃣ Get those wrinkles out

Steam or press your linens, silks, etc. so that they're ready to wear and you won't pass them up when in a hurry or give them away from lack of use. We love Steamery products for this. Find their iron steamer—and other great products—here. 💨
