Episode 11: How to Wash Your Clothes to Prevent Shrinking, Pilling and Snagging

In this episode, I teach you how to properly and sustainably wash your clothes to avoid shrinking, pilling, and snagging. Specifically, I give you machine washing tips, explain what those symbols on your clothing tags mean, provide alternatives to dry cleaning (because spoiler alert — dry cleaning is bad for your health), discuss how to wash your delicates, and more!
