Christmas Decorations: The When, the Why and the How!

There’s no better way to get excited about Christmas than starting the time-honoured tradition of decorating your home… and I don’t just mean the kids, I know that once I’ve decorated my house it’s officially Christmas… but like many others I never really know when I should start.

People used to decorate their homes on Christmas Eve, but these days the tradition of 12 days before and 12 days after is still popular with many. There are many superstitions regarding Christmas Decorations some of which have been retained (we still hang mistletoe in the belief that luck favours those who kiss under it and goes against those who avoid it.) Nevertheless some people feel that decorating is rather a pointless task, but lets remember that not only does this time-honoured tradition go back to pre-Christian times… it also makes us feel excited about forthcoming festivities (even for those who make a fuss about it but still do it!)

Perhaps for those people I can offer some time saving tips on how to decorate your home and still have time to get a bit of gift-wrapping done too! Decorating the tree is the obvious decoration to start with – but the way you put away your tree decorations is an important part to making this easy. Don’t just throw your lights and baubles into a carrier bag when taking them down (you know who you are!) – make life easier by untangling lights and boxing your tinsel and baubles separately. Top tips for decorating include the following:

  • Have a theme, for example stick to one colour

  • For tree decorations think about proportion – put larger decorations at the bottom and smaller ones at the top of the tree. The same applies to your other decorations too

  • Hang Christmas cards down door and window frames for a quick and easy way to add some colour – not only is this a cheap way to decorate rooms, it also adds a personal element to your decorations. Make this even easier with Christmas Card Hangers such as Velcro® Hanging Card Kit

  • Tinsel and beads don’t need to be kept to the tree – attach them to banisters and picture frames with Velcro® Christmas Decoration Clips

Get rid of moths

We receive hundreds of telephone calls on our helpline with customers complaining that their clothes are being damaged by Moths & seeking our advice. You may find the following information very useful.
The dreaded clothes moth comes in a number of formats but the most commonly found in UK homes are Webbing Clothes Moth(Tineola biselliella) and Case Bearing Clothes Moth (Tinea pellionella) . Others that may be encountered are the White Shouldered and Brown House Moths.

The Webbing Clothes Moth is found in many a wardrobe and chest of drawers and will usually attack the very best natural materials, such as cashmere! Damage is usually just small holes but an attack can be very expensive as one hole can render a £200 garment unwearable!!!.
Webbing Clothes Moth as so named because they leave trails of silken thread where they are active. Life cycle can take up to three years. Average female lays 40-50 eggs.

The Case Bearing Clothes Moth is more commonly found attacking carpets and soft furnishing and can cause very significant damage. Having a life cycle at least twice per year and laying around 60+ eggs at a time, the Case Bearing Moth is a destructive beast. This moth is easier to locate than the webbing model! It lives its larval stage in a pupal case and these cases can be found littering the infested area. Sometimes they take on the colour of the fabric being eaten but most commonly are whitish and look like pieces of cooked rice! You can see the brown head of the larvae at one end if they are active.

Control :
As with most pests, hygiene is the key to control. Vac the insides of wardrobes, storage areas and hidden floor areas regularly and try not to store soiled clothes as these are much more readily attacked by moth.
Move clothes regularly, check for moth activity, take outside and shake or brush. The Roller Clothes Brush is useful for removing moth eggs from close knitted and woven clothing. Keeping clothes in proper covers can reduce the risk of attack significantly and installing deterrents into wardrobes and drawers, such as Cedar Balls and Aromatics, will deter moth moth from setting up home and destroying your clothes.
If clothes are found to be infested, then, if not too damaged, they can be placed in polybags (squeeze air out) seal and freeze for 72 hours. This will kill larvae and eggs. There are no insecticides that you can safely apply to clothes but it would certainly help to spray the insides of storage cupboards and drawers with insecticide.

Little can be done to protect carpets other than regular vaccuuming of hidden areas.
Infestation in carpets will almost certainly need chemical application to remedy. Some natural fibre carpets are pre-treated with insecticide in production but this is not a guarantee that the carpet will not still be attacked. Our extensive range of Moth Deterrents will help you protect your favourite garments. The items shown below are from our wide selection of products: Orphea Strips, Cedar hang-Ups, Clothes Moth Trap , Wooden Cedar Balls, Wooden Cedar Rings, Colibri Lavender Sachets & Hanging Cedar Wood Sachet






In our experience Clothes Moths are tenacious creatures & we recommend as many types of clothes protection as possible - Suit & Dress Covers, Sweater Bags, Blanket Bags, Duvet Bags, Vacuum Storage Bags.
Remember that the Clothes Moth loves the same natural fibres that we do - Silk, Cashmere, Cotton & Wool. They do not like man-made materials

Ironing clothes: What is a ‘must-know’

[caption id="attachment_159" align="aligncenter" width="388" caption="Iron Covers, Ironing Cloth"]Iron Covers, Ironing Cloth[/caption]

Ironing one’s clothes is one of the most important household tasks that needs to be mastered. Following is a guide for the facts you need to know before you go about doing this everyday.

Being self dependent is essentially a necessity in today’s times. One needs to understand that learning how to do little chores at home is not only beneficial in terms of keeping one active, it also saves a substantial amount of money. For instance, instead of giving clothes for laundry, if one knows how to wash them at home, a very high amount of savings can be done. A similar chore in this aspect is the art of ironing.

Although a very small task if considered as an individual, ironing is a time-taking procedure, plus being an expensive one if taking external help. The advantage of learning how to iron is more than the cost factor, since it also makes sure that you are not dependent on anybody for your day to day needs, and that in case that person does not make it or leaves you high and dry in the middle of nowhere one fine day, you can at least take care of your important attire related problems easily.

The first thing one needs to know about ironing is how to adjust temperatures. There are different settings for different types of clothes, with the sensitive ones requiring lower temperatures and the stronger ones like jeans requiring hotter ironing to make sure all creases are taken care of properly.

Another strong issue one faces very often is that of leaving the iron in standing position after ironing all the clothes because of the heat, since it can’t be kept horizontal or inside a box due to the heat that is still there on the plate. An ideal solution for this is an iron cover, which is a kind of a case in which you can place the iron after the task is over so as to prevent heat transfer to any other object.

Another important accessory to own is an ironing cloth, which is a sheet that is available to be spread on top of the surface on which you are ironing to ensure smooth ironing and prevent damage to the surface. For instance, if you are ironing on a steel base, the heat that is transferred from the iron can easily damage the base over a period of time, besides giving you an uneven iron on your clothes. The presence of an ironing cloth ensures that you get an even ironing throughout your clothes, and protecting your base in the process.

And lastly, the fact that steam irons are more effective than their traditional counterparts is always a truth, particularly when it comes to more sensitive fabric. The usage of moisture can never be denied, and even if you do have a steam iron, it might be necessary to sprinkle a few drops of water to get an even better ironing experience. Further, if the plate gets too hot, one can also sprinkle water to lower the temperature, although this is not a sure-shot measure and is only a quickfire remedy, in case you are in a hurry.

Organising the wardrobe : The hardest ‘how-to’ guide

[caption id="attachment_153" align="aligncenter" width="306" caption="Clothes Hangers"]Clothes Hangers[/caption]

Organizing one’s wardrobe can be quite a task in itself, and although any kind of organizing seems to be very cumbersome at first, organizing wardrobes is something else altogether, since it always seems that hardly 3-4 days after you have put everything to place, it always seems to get disorganized automatically. However, personal experience showed me that there is nothing wrong with the almirah or the fact that you are organizing too infrequently, it is actually the manner of organizing that is the main issue. Often the way most wardrobes are kept is by stacking all types of clothing one on top of other in separate stacks. The more organized ones might at best stack clothes by categories like shirts, trousers, skirts, and so on. However, this is where the fault lies, since there are many times when we are confused regarding what outfit to wear and end up upsetting the whole wardrobe in order to find the perfect dress. In such cases, a skirt or trouser hangers come out to be most handy.

The most important advantage of having hangers is that you can easily organize your clothing with the maximum utilization of space, even if you don’t have much of a vertical space (though it is advisable that you should). Further, you can easily browse through the collection of clothes you are having without disturbing the entire setup, since everything is hanging and all you need to do is just flip. Other advantages include that you can figure out combinations without actually trying them, there are no crease marks due to the folds you would have made in case there were no hangers, and the fact that you have plenty of other free space to use according to however you might see fit. Further, there are also hangers for specific purposes like coat hangers to hang suits, and children’s hangers, that come in a special size according to the size of children’s clothing. All in all, there’s one hanger for every kind of garment, and you can benefit from them in more ways than one.

Wardrobe organizers ; How to make the process easy

[caption id="attachment_147" align="aligncenter" width="383" caption="Clothes Rails"]

Clothes Rails[/caption]

Life in many aspects becomes a lot more easy when you are the organizing types and know how to manage your resources best when it comes to keeping things at a place in a systematic manner so that they can be found later. However, many of us do not often follow this practice since it seems to be a very time-taking procedure at first, and we feel that since it’s our own house, we would obviously figure out ultimately as to what is kept where. But this does not happen always, does it? And it is then that we feel the need to reorganize everything, but later obviously, because right now, there’s an important meeting, going to work, the date you have been waiting for, and so and so forth. And hence, the work you had intended to do never gets done, and the organizing task always stays pending, and continues to create problems. However, it is not possible to organize everything at one’s place, but few essential aspects must always be kept so that they can be useful when the need is there. One of these elements is clothes. The definition of our personality, one is immediately judged on the basis of the kind of clothes he or she is wearing. Hence, keeping them organized is an extremely important task to undertake on a regular basis.

 

Picture this, you have to go on a meeting on an urgent basis, and suddenly find that there is no proper outfit that would suit the occasion, and to top it all, there is no such thing as an organized wardrobe in your house. This is one situation that is bound to create problems. However, if the almirah or closet is kept organized in due time, this problem can be solved quite easily. One of the foremost tools in this aspect is a clothes rail, that is the first thing you need in any wardrobe. Although there are other options like you stacking your shirts and trousers on top of each other, this is an issue when you consider the fact that this practice can leave creases on clothes, shirts in particular. However, if you have a clothes rail and hangers, you can easily organize your clothes and keep them in proper shape. These days, there are cloth rails available in many shapes and sizes, such as 3ft clothes rail, 6 ft. clothes rail and so on.

Shoes : An important part of your wardrobe

[caption id="attachment_143" align="aligncenter" width="292" caption="Shoe Racks, Boot Shapers, Shoe Accessories "]Shoe Racks, Boot Shapers, Shoe Accessories [/caption]

Footwear is clearly what defines a person, and should be given more heed to than even clothes, since they need to be constantly polished, kept spot free, aired, to ensure their long life. Following are some tips on how to maximize the life of your favourite shoes.

The complete personality of anybody is not complete without great shoes or footwear, and to maintain them, requires proper care in terms of how they are kept, polished, and so forth. Following are a few handy tips to make sure you take proper care of an important angle of your overall personality.

  • Always make sure you store shoes properly in shoe organizers. These could be racks, or trees, wherein shoes are kept/hung pair by pair so as to reduce any chances of the dirty soles of one soiling the upper side of another. Besides, such a practice also helps you to keep them in a very clean and proper state by giving them proper air.

  • Another advantage of using organizers is that shoes are always easily accessible, and you can know as to which shoe is not in a proper condition to be worn and needs to be replaced, or stained and needs to be polished. Further, this also helps in making sure that in case due to some infection one pair of shoes is smelling, the smell does not pass on to the other shoes.

  • Always ensure that you air your shoes once a month, or better still, every fortnight. This is done by leaving them out for a couple of hours in the sun to make sure that any chance of infection is eliminated, and also helps shoes with special material like suede, etc. in staying in a good condition.

  • In case of leather shoes, make sure that they are polished once in every 4-5 days, regardless of whether they are used that often or not, since this helps in keeping the shoe material in a good condition, and also allows it to hold on longer.

  • In case of shoes with alternative material like suede or nu buck leather, make sure they get sufficient air, and spray them with the recommended spray from the a good dealer or the shop from where you purchased it. These kind of shoes have a greater tendency to get spoil due to the sheer nature of their material.

  • Make sure that you always use shoe horns to put on your shoes. Often, it is only the backside of the shoe that gets damaged, purely because of our inherent habit of stuffing our foot whenever we are in a hurry. Keep the shoe horn handy, maybe in the shoe racks for example, and you might save your shoes a good year and a half.

Taking proper care of your footwear


A wardrobe is one of the most essential places of one’s home, since it defines the persona of an individual, and often helps in many crucial decisions in life. For instance, your first job interview could turn out to become a disaster if you are not dressed properly. Another case could be when you would need to look your best while meeting the parents of your fiance while proposing for marriage. Hence looking at every aspect of your wardrobe is of crucial importance at every stage in life. Although many of us do have a clear idea of how to take care of clothes by cleaning, ironing and organizing them properly, however, shoes are something that are not given much attention, and it ends up that we don’t take as much care of them as is required, which leads to them being mistreated and not maintained properly.

The first thing towards the maintenance aspect is to get a shoe organizer, so that you can keep all your footwear at one place. In this regard, a shoe tree is the best option, since it helps you to keep all the shoes at different location and helps in making sure that the stains of one don’t get on another as happens when you stack them one over the other. This is particularly a problem when you have a suede or different kind of shoe, upon which it is even harder to get off stains. Further, if you must stack shoes one over the other, it is most important that you get shoe storage boxes for the purpose, so that even if shoes are kept that way due to space constraints (or the fact that you have an immense number of shoes!), they are always separate from each other. Further, one more important fact is that there should be clear shoe boxes available with you, which are free from any kind of dirt, etc. and the best way to ensure this is to make sure you clean them every once a week and let them out in the open sunlight with the shoes themselves.

Laundry clothes : Precautions you need to take

[caption id="attachment_140" align="aligncenter" width="311" caption="Laundry Bags and Hampers"]Laundry Bags and Hampers[/caption]

Taking proper care of clothes is one of the most important tasks one needs to learn in order to stay self-dependant in today’s times. Even if you are having the capacity to hire a laundry to do the washing for your clothes, keeping them improper shape is something only you can do, since they are your clothes. Following is a list of steps you need to take in order to ensure the proper care of clothes.

Ensure that you take proper sized laundry baskets while taking your clothes to the laundry. Many of us ignore this step and just wrap the clothes with a sheet of cloth and take it for washing. However, such a practice is wrong, and damages clothes in the long run since it runs a chance of buttons getting broken, cuffs and collars being damaged, etc. In a similar manner, the laundry bag or basket that you choose to take should be having the appropriate size as per the requirement of clothes you have to be washed at a particular time.

While taking clothes back from the laundry, be sure to check for missing buttons or even clothes themselves, since only if you know it there and then can you inform the concerned person to help you in looking for the same. Further, be sure that you know regarding the sensitive clothes, if any, that need special care while washing, so that you can inform of the same to the laundry personnel to avoid complications at a later stage. Agreed, they are professionals, but a little precaution from your side will be very beneficial especially if you have a few special clothes that you don’t want to risk damage for in any case.

In case of dry cleaning-related clothes in particular, be sure to have a clean laundry basket that is free of any kind of stains, since there is no method of washing that is full proof, and if there is any stain that catches on to your cloth and can’t be removed, it would be you who would be the sufferer. Take it for granted that there is no such thing as a guaranteed washing method that can remove all stains.

Keeping children’s clothes properly : What to do and what not to do

[caption id="attachment_133" align="aligncenter" width="279" caption="Children Storage"]Children Storage[/caption]

While there might not be very expensive materials that are used in a child’s clothing, it is nevertheless important to make sure that whatever is the nature of their clothes, it is important to take care of them. The first and foremost step for this is to make sure that their clothes are cleaned and dried properly, since more than seventy per cent of all cloth-related problems are because of the fact that some stain always remains or that the cloth is not properly dried and still has moisture. Further, the storage of such kind of clothes creates further issues, since when there is not enough space among clothes and they are just stacked on top of each other, it always creates problems, since the moisture then gets transferred to other clothes as well. Having proper hanging organizers or hangers in their fabric wardrobes is the way one can counter this problem.

Moreover, there is also a very inherent habit of housekeepers, particularly women, of keeping children’s clothes in underbed storage cabinets. While this is a good choice in case you are short of storage space, it is very important that you ensure that once your child’s clothes are taken out in the season, they must be washed once again to make sure that there is proper hygiene for the coming time. Further, the material of the storage bag must also be chosen carefully, so as to keep clothes in the ideal condition. The best bet would be a duvet bag, since it permits clothes to breathe. Also, you might want to classify your child’s hangers as specific ones for shirts, shorts and so on, so as to make sure the almirah stays organized, and you don’t have a problem in finding the right dress for any occasion.

Lint : The worst enemy, with a simple solution

[caption id="attachment_128" align="aligncenter" width="299" caption="Clothes Brush"]Clothes Brush[/caption]

Very often, it so happens that we have a very important meeting or interview, and that is precisely when everything starts to fall apart. The toast burns, the dog won’t let go of your trousers, you find out that there has been an emergency power cut, and so on. While many of these situations seem o be out of hand and happen very infrequently, one of these happenings can be rued rather easily. That problem is lint.

Yes, we have all experienced it. As soon as we put on our favourite shirt for that perfect impression, we notice that there is lint at certain areas, and nothing can be more irritating, particularly if it’s a dress code kind of a thing or you had planned specially for the dress to look that way. This can happen most often in case of suits. When the perfect shirt does not match due to problems of lint, you need to have a solution at hand. A lint roller is a perfect answer to this.
Simply put, a lint roller is a one-sided adhesive paper roll available with a spindle and handle. To use, all you have to do is to roll it on the areas from where you need to remove lint, and the adhesive paper will attract all the pieces, thus leaving your shirt, or any other piece of clothing, spotless. Once the paper/roll has completed its work and needs to be changed, you can replace with another roll available as a separate piece in the same spindle. Animal owners are particularly familiar with this problem, and a lint roller makes for the perfect blessing in case you have a habit of hugging your pets goodbye, or have enthusiastic pets who always have a habit of staying close to you and hopping on to your lap whenever they get the opportunity. Further, lint rollers can also be a great way to remove other small attachments like dandruff flakes, etc. from your clothes. However, one major precaution to take care of is that you use the lint roller only on dry areas, since a wet portion of clothing can damage the adhesive coating on the roller.

Caraselledirect.com is a UK portal that caters to various shopping and household needs of people, with a wide range of clothing care accessories like lint roller, clothes brush etc. for animal hair removal and other types of lint.

How to take care of animal hair


There would be quite a few of us who would be having pets at home, and where there are pets there is bound to be a certain degree of mess. While their traditional habits like knocking things around here and there can be controlled after they are accustomed to your home, there is one problem that continues to stay, and that is the problem that comes when they have a habit of always staying around you for affection. While their intention is always positive, they don’t realize what they are doing to your favorite clothes, i.e., their hair, that sticks on to almost everything you can think of. This becomes even more problematic when you are in a hurry and need to make it somewhere on time and suddenly find that there is animal hair all over your clothes. This applies to everything, from your favorite Gucci designer suit to the corduroy trousers you recently purchased, rest assured that nothing will be spared!
However, thanks to a few good men who did have the intelligence to know this kind of problem was coming, you might have a solution to the problem of animal lint, or so to speak of it. This is in the form of animal hair removers. Currently known by many names like fluff remover, roller brush, sticky roller brush, etc., these are some really handy tools that make sure that your favorite attire remains spot free and clean of animal hair. These are basically rolls of adhesive paper on a spindle with a handle that looks like a paint-brush, but is instead used for removing animal hair that gets accidentally stuck to clothes. It is used by rolling on the area where you want the hair to be removed from, with the hair sticking on to the foreign material and removing it safely from your clothes. Further, these rollers even work on sensitive and special material, and hence there is hardly any problem that you might face in using them on any kind of material. Yes, there is a problem if you use it on dresses with dangling ‘objects’, since the adhesive is quite strong on these rolls and often attaches anything that is slightly loose. Further, there are also animal stain removers available these days, that make sure any kind of spots created by animal activities are removed easily. Other variations of the pet hair removers include pet hair removal sponge, which kind of works in the same way, with the user having to rub it over the affected area to remove the hair.

Storage bags : Something you’ll always need

[caption id="attachment_125" align="aligncenter" width="336" caption="Storage Bags "]Storage Bags [/caption]

Clothes are a very important aspect of our personality, and hence, it is most imperative that one makes sure that they are taken care of properly. Every year, there is the same cycle of putting in old clothes and taking out the next season’s clothes. Besides a few instructions for winter clothes that always demand extra care while washing and storage (such as the use of sweater bags), there are a few standardized procedures one must follow before storing clothes in closets, almirahs, etc.

The first and foremost important point is to make sure you have properly washed them. Although this might seem like a very normal instruction, and you might say ‘what’s so special about this’, but the fact is that while day-to-day washing can allow you to be a little careless while the washing procedure is taking place, once you want to stack clothes in storage bags for 6-8 months, you better make sure that they are cleaned properly. For instance, in case of shirts, make sure the collars as well as the cuffs are absolutely dirt free. In case you want to be sure, you can also take external help by sending them to a laundry (yes, it is expensive, but necessary in case you are in doubt of your cleaning capability). This is mainly because just in case there are some stains left, they either would become so permanent by the time you take the clothes out the next time that you won’t be able to remove them, or they would weaken that specific portion so bad that even the slightest of wear and tear would do irreparable damage. Further, there’s also the fear of moths and other insects, that always seem to get attracted more to dirty clothes. Which reminds me, that you also need to put in anti-moth balls while storing clothes, besides keeping the storage area clean.

The last point is for the proper kind of storage bags; you must use particular bags meant for the purpose, like suit bags for suits, plastic bags would go with almost anything, duvet storage bags in case you want to allow the clothes to breathe a little, and so on. Further, there are also various underbed storage bags available these days, to make sure you get them particular to the way you want them to be stored.

Organising things the way they should be

[caption id="attachment_116" align="aligncenter" width="311" caption="Hanging Organizers"]Hanging Organizers[/caption]

Organizing is simply one of the most irritating activities one has to do, but also one of the most important if you want to save time when your are in a crunch. Here are a few important items you need o keep your wardrobe in place.

When it comes to organizing things, most of us are desirable to find an option to do the same, but are not really one of those ‘organizing types’, or that is what we at least think, it is a well recognized fact that staying organized always helps, and although it seems to be a tedious process, going for an organized approach in many aspects of life often saves a lot of time and is very convenient. And thanks to the numerous options we have in order to assist us in our endeavors in staying organized, it is not a very big ask any more. Following are methods to help you stay organized in various areas of day-to-day life, with a little help from fittings and fixture.

Hanging rails are a very common sight mostly in almirahs and bathrooms, and tend to serve various purposes, albeit very small ones. They can serve to be a place to hang fresh towels/clothes, or their used counterparts as well, and in the insides of almirahs for the same purpose. Although we often tend to forget to install hanging rails in the required places, it always leads to better convenience and space saving.

• A hanging shoe organizer might not be the most common fitting at a house, but the main advantage it brings is the savings on space. Many times, we face the problem of unorganized shoe racks with shoes stacked on top of each other, which leads to the ones at the bottom getting stained badly and in some cases, also smell badly. With a hanging shoe organizer, this problem is automatically solved, as shoes are not placed at appropriate spacing, and not on top each other.

• Sweaters are the most unorganized for many of us almost all the time, and it always seems to be a real task to put them in place. Even if you do make it a point to organize your cabinet once a week/fortnight/month, it always seems to get as bad as it was before you know it, mainly due to the new additions you have to do frequently, and the indecisiveness regarding which combination to wear on which day. However, with a hanging sweater organizer, one can be sure of keeping them in proper order, since it gives you an ad-hoc storage place in case you are in a hurry and can’t properly stack sweaters properly.

• Kids always seem to put away all their things at all the wrong places, or misplace them more often than you can think. For the prevention of such kind of events to happen, an over door hanging organizer for kids is always the best option. It has plenty of pockets and lets kids store toys, toothbrushes and other small essentials that always seem to be misplaced when they are most needed.

Put hemming to anything in minutes : Wundaweb comes to the rescue

Putting hems to almost any item is quite a task in itself, and more so if you are not the stitching types or need the stuff quickly. Here, a wundaweb tends to be most helpful, and allows you to attach hems to almost anything in under one minute.

Change is something that is constant in life, and the same applies to everything we have around us. For instance, many times you get a good job opportunity and need to migrate to another city, country, or home. Under such cases shifting your stuff is quite a task in itself, but when it comes to altering your fittings with specifications to your new home, that is where one gets really irritated, particularly when your job is a traveling one and you need to keep on traveling, staying at different places for 1-2 years. Even if it is a rented place (which is the most logical option, unless you are extremely well off financially), there are certain elements like curtains that might not always be present, and you might need to carry them. However, not all windows are alike, and hence, you might often have to be faced with a situation when you have purchased a curtain for 10 feet, whereas your new home has the same of just 8 feet. One option can be to buy new curtains, but if you are a person who can’t stay at a place for long, buying new curtains every year is not a wise option (although an expensive one!). The solution to all such problems is a wundaweb.

Simply put, a wundaweb is a soft nylon fleece that is feels like a gauze, and comes wrapped around a card for smaller lengths and in a roll kind of shape for longer lengths. It bonds the fabric together and is washable and dry cleanable. The main advantage of this wonderous invention is that it allows you to ‘create’ your own hems fast and easy, perfect if you are not really the stitching types (and even if you are, it does stay long enough to be of great help). Besides, it also saves you quite a substantial amount by not needing the piece of fabric to be given for stitching. Top use a wundaweb, all one needs to do is to create one’s own ‘hem’ and crease it by the means of a hot iron. Then, cut out the desired length of wundaweb and cover the folded hem completely with it, and place it on the area where you need the hem to be created. Then, take a damp cloth, place it on top of the wundawebbed hem, and place a hot iron over the same for around 10-12 seconds. Do not iron along the hem. Instead, just press it firmly on the cloth, and allow it to cool. Once the cooling is done properly, you may remove the cloth and find a proper hemming done on the curtain. However, sometimes it does happen that the web sticks to the bottom of the iron. In such cases, you must immediately take a dry cotton and wipe it clean, otherwise it would result in a sticky residue on the plate of your iron, and you run the risk of having the same on any of the clothes you iron hereon. Further, in oreder to again extend your curtain to fit longer lengths, all you need to do to break the bond is to place the damp cloth again, out a hot iron for 10 seconds, and just peel apart the fabric.

A wundaweb can also be used to put hems on other fabrics like jeans, skirts and dresses, and works on mostly all the fabrics, though velvet or pile fabrics are not preferred ones to use the same.

Important items to make your daily kitchen chores easy


Kitchen is a part of the house that is easily one of the most important ones, and more so when there are guests over and you need to give your best food, or when your are in a hurry and need the required item in the least time. Here is a list of accessories to help you cook to your best without wasting even the slightest time.

Kitchen is a place where all of us, at some point of our life, need to spend quite a substantial amount of time. Be it a single father or a doting mother, a bachelor or a working class woman, almost everyone needs to do some activity or the other in the kitchen. Here are a few accessories that make working easier, and also lead to one getting things done is a much faster manner.

• There are often times when one goes out for a picnic, or needs to take lunch to office or send the kids with their lunch to school. And one of the most frequent concerns is health and hygiene of the food you have prepared while traveling. While the age old paper bags are a good way of keeping food hygienic, the freshness factor is always an issue. Further, if a paper bag slips out of hand and tears open, all the food items are gone, and you/your kids, would need to either purchase something if it is available, or go hungry the entire day. To solve this problem, anylock sealing packs are the best item to use. They are plastic bags that come with an anylock seal, which allows food to stay fresh as well as hygienic, not matter how you handle it. Further, there is also no worries of the sauce leaking out, since it is a plastic bag and the seal is very close to air tight.

• Baking food items in the oven is a quick and easy way of having your favourite items like pizza, cookies, baked potatoes, etc. easily at home. However, one issue that often concerns is the proper circulation of heat throughout the item, since putting the raw item like pizza in the oven with a baking tray tends to concentrate the heat on the base, which often leads to stickiness while you remove it after it is done. With a quickachips tray, you can easily cook fries, pizza and other items with the heat circulating properly, thus leading to even cooking in a shorter time without you scraping the food off later.

• Sandwiches are an all time favourite food item, but often need constant attention in the toaster, lest they get burnt. However, it is not always possible to keep staring at the toaster waiting for the sandwich to be done. Toastabags do the trick quite easily. Just place your sandwich in a toastabag, place it in the toaster, and the sandwich would automatically pop out when it’s done, and you would also find the same flavour intact (maybe even better). What’s more, you can also cook other items like chips, fish fingers, etc. with a few more pops. A smart and easy way of having your favourite items.

• Talk about a multipurpose kitchen accessory, and nothing fits the bill more than tea towels. Covering a variety of needs, a tea towel can be used to dry dishes, your precious china, and other items of cutlery, serve as a protector of liquids spilling on the tea tray, thanks to its absorbent qualities, and also used to cover scones or tea pots to prevent heat loss. All in all, a handy accessory that also looks good.

Children hangers : A must have item for a wardrobe

[caption id="attachment_105" align="aligncenter" width="356" caption="Children Hangers"]Children Hangers[/caption]

Handling and organizing children’s clothes is really a very difficult task, thanks to the sheer small size and the fact that we hardly pay any attention to their clothes, which leads to them being damaged over a period of time. Hence, having a separate hanger according to the size of your children’s clothes is a very important item to have in their wardrobe.

Taking proper care of one’s clothes is always a very difficult yet important task, and when the clothes are of children, the task becomes even harder. Chocolate stains, dust, ketchup, and so on, kids always seem to find new places to get themselves and their clothes dirty with, and one, as a parent, can not even scold them for being careless, because that is what they are meant to be, careless. Hence, it is extremely important that one takes proper care of a child’s clothes. Below are some points which may assist one in ensuring proper care:

• Always make it a point to educate children regarding the places they need to avoid in order to stay clean. Emphasise on the fact that cleanliness is very important for them. Once a child knows he should not get dirty, half of your problems are solved automatically.

• Children’s clothes are often made of special material that needs to be washed specifically as per the washing instructions. Hence, make sure that you read all the instructions before going for the final washing cycle. For instance, it is always better to wash whiter and lighter shades together, and separate from stronger colours which may have a tendency to bleed, so as to prevent the lighter clothes taking the former’s colour, spoiling the total appearance instantly.

• Make sure that once the wash cycle is completed, the clothes are dried before you iron them, otherwise it may lead to bad odour and damage to the fibres. Even if the clothes have been steam dried in the machine, it is always a better option to let them hang in the sun for around half an hour to let all the moisture escape.

• Proper storage of clothes is another aspect that is often neglected. However, it is as important as the washing itself. Make sure children’s clothes are stored in hangers meant specifically for such purposes.

• One more important point to take care of while purchasing a children’s clothes hanger is the fact that its material should be of good quality, rust-free(if it is made of steel) and sturdy, so that it does not snap open all of a sudden.

• Even though it is advisable to store all children’s clothes in hangers, it is not a practical option. Hence, it is most important to make sure one prioritises the kind of clothes that need to have hangers. For instance, children’s coats are one item that need hangers at all times, since there is no other alternative to hang them. Make sure you store similar clothing in the appropriate fashion without compromising on the cost factor, since it’s a one-time investment.

Bobbles in clothes : Why they continue to happen, and how to prevent them?

[caption id="attachment_101" align="aligncenter" width="452" caption="defuzza, Bobble Remover by Caraselle Direct"]defuzza, Bobble Remover by Caraselle Direct[/caption]

Very often, as the next season of winter sets in, and we take out all our clothing for the upcoming time, there are seen certain small ball-shaped things sticking on woolen clothes, which are actually made of the same material as our sweater/jacket or any other piece of clothing. These are known as bobbles, or clothing fuzz, and are technically the result of a process called piling, in which a strand of the fabric gets snapped off from the usual structure, as a result of the fabric rubbing among itself or against something else. With due course of time, surrounding fibres too get detached in a similar fashion, which results in all the loose strands intermingling to produce small balls, or bobbles, and the phenomenon soon spreads to different places all over the clothing. If you are lucky, then there might be a possibility that bobbles come only on the inside of the fabric. However, if they do on the outer surface, which is mostly the case, then you are really in for trouble, and it would take a good bobble remover or a clothing defuzzer to help you get rid of the same. For now, let’s take a look at the kind of clothing that encourages this phenomenon.

Piling occurs mostly in woolen clothes. But this does not mean that one should stop purchasing woolen clothes simply because they are the most likely to get it, and certainly does not mean that you should be hardly wearing woolen clothing outside of your home (What’s the point of buying it in the first place then!). This process is purely dependent on how closely knit the fabric is. For instance, woven fabric has a higher resistance to piling when compared to knitted fibres. Further, the type of yarn used also has an impact on this phenomenon, with clothes containing wool along with a bit of nylon providing better protection against piling. There are also clothes that come with an anti-piling coating.

However, if any of your old clothes has got bobbles, there are a few household tips to remove them. Holding a velcro strip and running it over the fabric, besides using a blade to shave off the excessive damaged fibres, are methods of the past, and often end up damaging the clothe as well. Fortunately, technology has given a solution to this problem in the form of clothing defuzzers, which suck up and detach the bobbles on practically any type of material clothing, and give you a piling-free apparel, without causing damage to the cloth.

Shoes : An essential part of your wardrobe


A man is judged in the first impression by the way he looks, and looks mean everything, from the way you look physically, to your clothes, to the way you walk, and one of the most important, yet most ignored factors, shoes. Yes, it’s true, while there is a famous quotation signifying the importance of shoes, many of us rarely pay any attention to the fact that they are an important part of our personality, and instead go for preferring to give importance to our clothes more than the former, which often leads to embarrassing situations. For instance, if your clothes are of the latest fashion, but your shoes are either worn out or not up to date with your attire, you might as well be dressed in casuals, since the overall impression has been spoilt. Following are few tips to manage and care for your shoes in a better manner :

  • Always regularly keep polishing your shoes, even when you are not using them regularly (and more so at that), since the leather tends to either lose its shine or gather fungus if it is unused for a long time.
  • Keep your shoes properly stacked in a shoe rack, or preferably in a shoe organizer, in order to preserve long life and make sure they do not gather dust by placing them one over the other.
  • If possible, try to use all the shoes in your rack at least once in two weeks to ensure they stay fresh and get sufficient amount of air.
  • In case you have just taken the shoes out from the shoe box (fresh when you have purchased them, make sure that you give them sufficient air before you begin using them. This also applies to shoes you haven’t worn in a long time. Leaving them out in the open, preferably in the sun, resists any chance of fungus growing in them and also relieves them of any kind of smell.
  • If your feet are smelling, make sure you wear socks every time you use your shoes.
  • In case of ladies shoes, which often consist of a high number of heel-bearing footwear, it is all the more essential to have a well spaced out rack, and particularly the longer heels be placed vertically so as to keep the heels in perfect shape everyday.
So there you have it, these are a handful of tips you need to follow to maintain your footwear. While most of them might seem very simple to follow, the most important thing is to remember to do that regularly.

Bathroom accessories : Important aspects that we ignore



[caption id="attachment_97" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Bathroom Accessories - Caraselle Direct"]Bathroom Accessories - Caraselle Direct[/caption]

Often, we take many important aspects of our home for granted, and don’t realize the importance they hold in our lives. However, that does not negate the vital role they play in our day-to-day activities. Bathrooms are one such section of the house that needs proper attention, but is seldom given the same. How many of us remember the last time we considered revamping our bathroom with some new accessories over our bedroom or living room? I don’t think many would give a positive answer to this one, but nonetheless, since we spend at least half an hour every morning in this part of the house, and other family members do the same too, it is perhaps important to give some attention to it.

Lighting : There is a most important requirement of proper lighting in the bathroom, particularly near the mirror, since we spend time brushing our teeth and shaving over there, two activities that need the maximum light. An ideal arrangement is where there is a window adjacent to the mirror, so that there is plenty of natural light coming in as well. Further, appropriate number of bulbs/tubes, etc. need to be installed so as to give the maximum light.

Bath area : The bath area must first and foremost be kept clean, and should also suit your taste. For example, if you are not much of a shower fan, and prefer to have a bath tub installed instead and also have the resources to do so, then you must go ahead with the same, since it would help you bring a positive start to the day, by doing things how you want to.

Accessories : Now we come to another important aspect; accessories. These are small fixtures that even though are quiet ordinary to look at, yet their importance in a bathroom is vital. Following is a list.

Undersink cabinet : Placed under the wash basin, and under sink cabinet might not be the most pleasant addition to your bathroom, but is important nonetheless to store supplies such as toothpastes, soaps, cleaning liquids, etc., and since you would certainly not want sanitary equipment to be out in the open, an undersink cabinet serves the purpose quiet well.

Toilet roll holder : One needs to have a toilet roll holder to avoid inconvenience every morning of having to unroll manually and having the risk of the entire thing just slipping out of hand and covering the entire bathroom with toilet paper.

Towel rails/racks : It is most important to have a towel rack or holder. Not only is it elegant to look at, but also gives a defined place to keep towels for everybody. A freestanding towel rail can also solve the purpose.

So there you have it, a list of all the essential parts of your bathroom. There might be a few more but according to me, these are the ones that need the most primary attention.

Proper care of clothes : How to protect while stored


Clothing is an important part of our personality, and it is very important to take proper care of one’s clothes when they are stored with the aid of storage bags, so that they are in the same shape and quality when they are used the next time around. However, many times we neglect the importance of proper storage of clothes, and later regret for not taking appropriate measures, which results in them getting spoiled for various reasons. Following are a few measures one needs to take while keeping garments for use in the next season.

It’s not particularly essential to iron clothes before storing them for the next season, but washing them is an absolute necessity, since you are to use them most probably after at least 6-8 months, and germs can easily damage any type of fabric within this time span. Additionally, ironing could be a big help in storage, since it allows clothes to be stored with minimum space, plus keeping them in proper shape.

Coming to more details in washing, the washing instructions must always be followed. If the label of a particular silk or satin shirt specifies hand wash in lukewarm water, the directions must be particularly adhered to. Although not many clothes would be affected much even if there are slight modifications, the ones that would be, are usually the more expensive ones, and the effect worsens if you store them for a long span of time after washing incorrectly.

The next point concerns with the storage space. It is extremely important to make sure that the amount of storage space you allot for your clothes is proper. This is particularly important for clothes that are to be stored for a longer duration of time, like sweaters and coats, since if you don’t have the proper storage, you would want to stuff all the garments inside the storage bag, and this would result in their shape getting spoilt.

The last point concerns with the kind of storage bags you use. It is preferred that you go for under-bed storage bags if you are having space available on the underside of your bed, since it is a very convenient option, and frees you of the burden to put stuff in those high placed shelves and then having to make the effort to take them out again.

Caraselle Direct is delighted to offer you high quality duvet storage bag, vacuum storage bags and clothes storage bag solutions.

clothes covers : to prevent clothes from any sort of damage

[caption id="attachment_82" align="alignleft" width="204" caption="Peva Pack - Clothes Covers"]Peva Pack - Clothes Covers[/caption]

Clothing covers are not a very new thing in today’s times. However, we hardly pay attention to the importance of keeping our clothes in a proper condition, and often just think that washing and ironing them is enough to keep them in the right condition for years.



We all know how important it is for ourselves do be dressed in the appropriate clothes, not only for special occasions, but also for regular day to day activities. For instance, you would always want to preserve that precious gown you wear barely five times a year (only on occasions where you need to have all the attention on you or those that are an important social gathering and you have to look your best) with a gown cover, or the expensive Armani suit you bought last year and protect with more than anything else, the one that is always wrapped around with a well-protected suit cover to prevent any sort of damage (even from air!), but what would happen to your regular wear clothes? Agreed, they might not be as special as those expensive designer garments you purchase maybe around once or twice a year, but does that mean that they should not be cared for properly. And this factor particularly comes into play at the time of season changes, when you need to put in old clothes and take out new ones. At this time, most of our attention is concentrated towards the more expensive or ‘special’ clothes, and we devote all of our time to the safeguarding of only those clothes that we believe ‘should’ be protected more than the others.

However, even if a piece of clothing is not very important to you, isn’t it an investment, no matter how small? And wouldn’t it make you feel bad if any of your garments gets damaged due to any reason (there are many, if you come down to searching, of damaging your clothes)?

[caption id="attachment_86" align="alignleft" width="201" caption="Wedding Gown Carrier"]Wedding Gown Carrier[/caption]Further, if you have means to protect ALL of your clothes, isn’t it a far better decision to go fir it, instead of limiting yourself to only a few? Agreed, it might be a very expensive proposition at first, since you would have to purchase various kinds of equipment like coat and dress covers, sweater bags and travel garment carriers, but one must realize that these are only one time investments, and that once they are purchased, they can last for years together, and provide you valuable protection for your garments across all type of seasons. Further, keeping them all covered up would also help you arrange them in a better manner, and also provide for ease when you have to transport them, like going on a camping trip, or a cross-country outing. Hence, there are not one, but many benefits of purchasing covers for your clothes.

Hangers : a very important addition to any wardrobe


While not many of us would be admitting themselves to be organization-addicts, or those who love to organize just about anything, there is a certain level of comfort when you know that you have arranged a certain thing according to your convenience and can access it as per your requirements. This is one rule that applies to almost all spheres of our lives. And very often, we hardly notice that even the smallest of equipment can help us organize very important aspects of our lives, those that are almost irreplaceable from our day-to-day lifestyle. Hangers are one such invention, which has helped mankind since a very long time.


You can have different hangers for shirts, another set of hangers for trousers, and yet another for other types of clothing like skirts and blouses (if you are a female), or casual T-Shirts, cardigans, coats, etc.


And for those of who still can’t figure out why such a seemingly unimportant piece of equipment is important to your daily lifestyle, picture this; You are in a hurry to reach a particular place (your office, an important meeting, or an evening out with friends) and need to dress up in a rush. You open your wardrobe, and just can’t figure out where you have put your shirts, trousers, coats and spend countless minutes trying to figure out which is where, and eventually are late for the occasion/event. Further, even if you have organized them in stacks, it is not at all a favorable to keep shirts kept in square-type folds after they have been ironed, since it always leaves wrinkles on the chest and the back, to say nothing of the sleeves, and coats can certainly not be folded in any manner, and need to be hung in a hanger only. Taking another scenario, if you have too many clothes and not so much space, hangers can prove to be the most space saving of all the other means you might employ.

Hangers might not seem very important to many of us, since they are often considered to be mere additions to a wardrobe, and many times even dispensable and not really required. However, they are an essential element of everybody’s lifestyle, since they not only save space in a particular wardrobe, but also lead to better organization and proper care of clothing.

Hangers, or clothes hangers, might not be considered to be a very important addition to any wardrobe, but the fact is that clothing and hangers go hand in hand, and be it any type of clothing; yours, your relatives’, friends, or even your children’s clothes, it becomes necessary to arrange them in an almirah with the help of a hanger that not only saves space, but also helps you organize your organize your wardrobe so that there is not haphazard arrangement of clothes.

Washing bags : A boon to your lingerie items and clothes

[caption id="attachment_47" align="alignleft" width="206" caption="Net Washing bags"]Net Wash Bags for garments[/caption]

Often, many of our clothes need special care while washing, to make sure they are not subject to any wear and tear in washing machines. For instance, lingerie items and clothes made of special material or having many loose straps can’t be washed in the usual manner. This is where washing bags come in.

A washing bag is built of a net-like clothing paper in a wire-mesh structure, which allows the surf to wash the garment without letting the straps get entangled with each other or other clothes. There are special Bra net washing bags and lingerie net washing bags that let you wash undergarments with ease and minus the risk of them getting torn or damaged in any other way. All you need to do is to put all your undergarments, or even other special clothes like lacy tops, etc. which can’t be washed with normal clothes and face the problem of being torn, in a washing bag and tie the string on top. Then, you may put it inside the washing machine and run the cycle as usual. Your clothes would be clean as usual and would also be well taken care of, without you getting anxious regarding their condition when they come out of the machine. Further, there are also extra large washing bags available that let you put many clothes in a single bag to give even better space and negate the necessity of purchasing multiple washing bags.
Caraselle Direct is delighted to offer net washing bags for your all lingerie items and clothes.

Washing bags : A boon to your washing needs


Caring for clothes is a very difficult thing to do in today’s times, although no matter how important it may be. With today’s busy lifestyles, increasingly strenuous schedules and increasing family responsibilities, it becomes very hard to pay attention to minute details that need to be taken care of while washing, since we take it for granted that washing machines of the recent times can easily take care of all our washing needs, including lingerie. However, that is not the case. Washing of undergarments requires particular precision and care, and since they are the first garments to touch our body everyday, washing them is a very important task and should be done carefully. Some of the most common complaints women have while washing lingerie is that it frequently gets torn or ripped apart due to the straps of the bra getting entangled in other clothes, or worse, if you have chosen to wash all undergarments together in a separate batch, not only does that pose a greater risk of them getting torn, but this also results in you wrestling away with your garments even after they have been dried in the washing machine. Now one might contemplate the only solution being that each undergarment is washed separately in a washing machine (not an easy task, besides spending loads of electricity and water), or, to wash them manually (very exhaustive, and in some cases, not possible, due to the vast number of household chores, family responsibilities, work commitments, etc.) However, this does not mean that one can’t wash undergarments with safety in a washing machine, since due to the advancement in technology anything is possible.

A simple solution to this problem is a washing bag. Basically, a washing bag is a made of a net-like material in a wire-mesh structure, which allows the detergent to reach the garment without letting the straps get entangled with each other or other clothes. There are special Bra net washing bags and lingerie net washing bags that let you wash undergarments with ease and minus the risk of them getting torn or damaged in any other way. All you need to do is to put all your undergarments, or even other special clothes like lacy tops, etc. which can’t be washed with normal clothes and face the problem of being torn, in a washing bag and tie the string on top. Then, you may put it inside the washing machine and run the cycle as usual. Your clothes would be clean as usual and would also be well taken care of, without you getting anxious regarding their condition when they come out of the machine. Further, there are also extra large net washing bags available that let you put many clothes in a single bag to give even better space and negate the necessity of purchasing multiple washing bags. Hence, now you can stay assured that all your special clothes would stay damage-proof, as well as clean and hygienic; all you need to do is purchase a washing bag.

Proper storage of clothing : How to prevent them from moth infestation


Want to get rid of moths? Want to keep them away?

Storage of clothes has always been a task of utmost importance, and also an inevitable and unavoidable task. Every year, at the change of the season, one has to put in the past season’s clothes and take out the upcoming ones. Besides the general precautions one may take such as washing clothes prior and after storing them and keeping them properly stacked to maintain their quality, one more issue of concern comes regarding insects that can damage clothes. The most frequent among these insects are moths. These seemingly harmless creatures are the worst threat to any type of clothing material that is stored for a long time. Be it your favorite pair of jeans, an expensive corduroy gown, or that silk halter you simply adore, all can be severely damaged if not stored properly and protected a the same time. Hence, in order to keep your clothes safe, it is increasingly important to get rid of moths.

Currently, there are a wide range of moth repellents and moth deterrents (that prevent the attack and spread of moth population in your cupboards and almirahs). Every year, we need to store clothes as the season changes, and with the storage of clothes comes the ever-persistent question of how to protect your possession from moths. Following is an account of how you can properly store your clothes as well as keep moths away.
