Caring for your clothing means, being able to wear your clothing longer.  The more chemicals used on your clothing, the quicker they will fade. 

There are a couple of ways to make your clothing look and stay longer.  One is to steam your clothes instead of ironing them.  Steamers preserve clothing longer, whereas an iron breaks down the fibers.  Another way is to use baking soda instead of bleach.  Over time bleach causes your clothes to disintegrate, baking soda makes them brighter just without the harsh chemicals.  A third is to try to stay away from starch, it causes your clothes to fray such as around the collar.  A way to keep your jeans looking new, is to turn them inside out when you wash them.  Last but not least, always follow the directions on the label.  Saving time by washing everything together does not always save money.
