Best Tips to Prevent Your Clothes from Getting Wrinkled
First and foremost factor is to have a deep knowledge of how each type of fabric should be treated and should be cleaned. The next thing to keep in mind is to hang out the clothes properly in order to reduce the wrinkles on the cloth at the minimal level. Majority of the people don’t have sufficient time for ironing their clothes and so it is necessary to treat the clothes in such a way that it does not have more wrinkles. So, below are presented some of the significant tips shortlisted by wash and fold service at Manhattan, which are necessary to keep in mind in order to prevent your clothes from getting wrinkled:
Carefully separate the clothes of each type: One should be careful that the clothes are being separated by its color while doing laundry. Generally, the whites and light colored clothes must be placed together and dark colored clothes with the dark ones. In order to prevent wrinkles on the cloth, it would be better if the clothes are separated by fabric content as well as weight. Appropriate sorting of clothes, that too before washing will help in reducing the wrinkles on clothes to a greater extent. Generally, lightweight fabrics dry much quicker as compared to the heavier ones like the denim. Thus, it is better to carefully sort out the clothes for avoiding the wrinkles to set on clothes.
Carefully unload the clothes from dryer: As such, there is no particular technique or skill for unloading the apparels from the dryer. Just take up the clothes out and pile them in a basket. Do not place heavy fabric clothes on the lighter ones as it will crush them resulting into more deep wrinkles. In order to save your time and to avoid ironing your clothes, it is advisable to take few minutes to fold the clothes correctly as soon as the clothes come out of the dryer. If you just leave the heap of clothes in the basket, the weight of the pile would ultimately result into causing the wrinkles to set in more deeply.
Pay attention with your dryer cycle: Generally, all dryers work the same way and so they use gas or electric energy source to dry the clothes. As a result, the dryers vent the moisture and draw it from the fabric and this difference in heating and cooling down cycles determines that whether the clothes will come out with deep wrinkles or wrinkle free. As a result, it is advisable to pay attention with the drying cycle and prevent them from losing more moisture from the clothes.
In case, if the clothes are getting slightly wrinkled after storing them, you can steam out the wrinkles by running a hot shower on them and then letting the clothes steam for a while. Thus, these were some of the best tips to prevent your clothes from getting wrinkled.

MountKarma Crowdfund for Nepal
Kevin Lanuk is the founder of Mountkarma, a Himalayan fashion start-up based in Kathmandu, Nepal. They are running a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds for the purchase of aid materials for the earthquake victims of Nepal. Specifically, they are focused on bringing aid to villages in the Nuwakot district, one of the areas hardest hit. One village they assessed named Simle needs roof’s for 12 homes to hold back water from the impending monsoon and rice to feed the village. The cost as of today; a single 30kg sack of rice is 1350nrp or $13.28 and the cost of tin roofs for 12 houses is 58000nrp or $570.74.
They have a unique platform as a Himalayan clothing brand to raise support through awareness. That’s why they have taken their iconic Tibetan prayer flag tee and added it as an offering for contributors that donate $50 or more. Handmade in the Himalayas from soft breathable bamboo textiles and adorned with stunning prayer flags this auspicious garment will bring you fortune wherever the wind takes you.
Prayer flags are ancient Tibetan devices used for turning our misfortune into fortune and the spread of positive energy. When wind passes through the flags there energy is released and carried by the Lung Ta (Wind Horse) into all the surrounding areas. They’re an age old force for good and change.
The entirety of the proceeds raised will be used to purchase relief materials minus the cost of production of the shirts, any bank transfer fee’s or Indiegogo’s fee.
