How to get your wardrobe ready for summer

Short answer: Before summer it is worth doing three things: check last year summer clothes for stains, make sure you have enough thin layers, and see whether the underwear still holds.

Check stains from last year

Deodorant marks and sweat stains are clearer after a winter in the wardrobe. See how to remove deodorant marks from bamboo clothing.

Thin layers

In summer the thin t-shirts and tops are worn daily. See bamboo t-shirts for men.

The underwear

Summer is hard on underwear because of the sweat. Replace it if the elastic is slack. See bamboo underwear for women.

Chafing

If you are going to wear a dress, under-shorts are what stop the chafing. See bamboo under-shorts.

The socks

For trainers the short models are used. See bamboo footies for women.

Pack the winter clothes away

Wash them first and store them dry. See storing bamboo clothing.

Washing

40 degrees and air drying in the shade for coloured clothes. See the washing guide.
