Children hangers : A must have item for a wardrobe

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