I do agree that washing machines and laundry do damage clothing. Especially the tough chemicals used in the laundry. The best is to hand wash them. That too gently. As hard brushing may damage garments too. Some fabric softener after every was may also help keep the garment around for sometime and fresh after every wash. Interesting article.

I wear suits a lot and they are never to be washed because the was will really ruin it. Even dry-cleaning is to be used sparingly. Instead, get a good clothes brush and be sure to brush them off after each wearing. I don't like the bleach advice, though. Bleach is really strong and it will weaken the fibers of the clothes. Have you ever spilled bleach on a sweater and seen how it will put a hole in it? Even diluted, the same weaking will happen. I agree the washer and dryer really do a lot of damage to clothing.

I don't really understand the philosophy that if something is from last year, it is no longer in fashion and shouldn't be worn.

But I am not growing and they still fit so why get rid of them. With t-shirts and jeans I keep them for a long time, a lot of that has to do with the fact that I have a sentimental attachment to it.
