Clothing Care Tips:
Travel

Whether you are planning a winter get away or traveling for business, you want your clothes to look their best. Here are six tips to help keep your clothes fresh:

Don’t fold – roll. Gently rolling your clothes will not only take up less space, but also reduce wrinkles and creases.

Select fabrics that won’t wrinkle easily such as silks, cotton knits and lightweight wools.

Put the plastic from the drycleaner over each piece of clothing in your suitcase to help prevent wrinkling.

Color coordinate. Plan clothing so you can get a variety of outfits out of just a few pieces, so you don’t overload your suitcase.

Use plastic bags for packing shoes and bring extras for wet bathing suits.

Wear your heaviest and bulkiest clothes and shoes on the plane, so they don’t take up room in your bag.
