WHY DO I NEED RESTYLEs CLOTHING CARE SET?

When you learn to take care of your clothes, they will last so much longer and look better. Well-kept clothes give a more professional impression. You learn to value your clothes and look at them with new eyes. As a bonus, you will save both money and the environment when you can use what you already have for a longer time.

When we learn to maintain what we have, we support the circular economy and take a step away from overconsumption and fast fashion. By brushing and removing pimples, old clothes become like new again. Just a few generations ago, it was a matter of course that there were clothes brushes in every home to take care of the family’s clothes, a knowledge that has almost been lost today.

 

WHY USE A CLOTHES BRUSH?

Clothes brushes are used to replace disposable tape rolls and reduce the need to wash clothes. The clothes brush cares for and clean clothes in a natural and chemical-free way. With a quality, clothes brush you can easily and quickly remove dust, animal hair, lint, and dried stains from clothes and other textiles. The clothes brush also does not leave the clothes static, as velvet brushes in synthetic materials do. Did you know that disposable tape rolls can leave sticky residue on clothes that attract dust? In the worst case, this glue can also create stains on the clothes in the wash.

 

WHAT DOES THE RESTYLEs CLOTHING CARE SET CONTAIN?

The set contains a CP6 clothes brush and a pick comb for thinner materials, a CC20 clothes brush and a pick stone for coarser materials, as well as the clothes brushes’ small cleaning comb. RESTYLE’s Clothing Care Set is a versatile set that you can use to maintain the vast majority of clothing items and materials.

Feel free to place RESTYLE’s clothing care set clearly visible and where you will use it. Maybe it is suitable to lie at the front in the laundry room, the clothes care room, in the hall, or in the living room? The most used clothes brush might even fit best in your purse or car. At least we use the products that much more when they are readily available.

 

LINT COMB

The lint comb removes piles from knitted sweaters and woolen fabrics. The comb is particularly suitable for the maintenance of thin and fine merino and cashmere knits and smooth woolen fabrics. Many woolen garments pill after use, regardless of the quality of the yarn. Most exposed are areas that are exposed to friction the most, such as the side of the garment and the sleeves.

Remember, lint removal always tears the clothes a little bit. By brushing with the clothes brushes regularly, you prevent pimples from forming as easily and you don’t have to remove lint as often.

How to use a comb?

Move the comb on the surface of the material parallel to the thread direction or loops. On knitted sweaters, it is easier when the garment is placed on a pillow. The soft base holds the knitting in place better and also reduces pressure. Combing is started by gently pressing and gradually increasing the pressure until the fluff starts to loosen. Gentle brushing is not enough to remove fluff. For example, cashmere knitwear may require more pressure than regular merino wool knitwear.

If you are unsure whether a wool comb is suitable for a material, try combing on the wrong side of the garment first. Please brush the garment with a quality clothes brush after picking for the best finish. Brushing causes the fibers to settle. Arkive Atelier comb is perfect for combining with clothes brush Kent CP6.

 

LINT STONE

Lint stone is an effective tool for manually removing lint from coarse and fluffy woolen fabrics. It is particularly suitable for various woolen fabrics and clothing containing sheep’s wool and mohair such as knitted sweaters and woolen coats. Remember that pin removal is a little wear and tear on clothes. By brushing with the clothes brushes regularly, you prevent pimples from appearing as easily and you don’t have to use the pimple removers as often. If you are not sure whether a plinth comb or a plinth is best for your garment, try them first on the wrong side.

How to use a lint stone?

The lint stone works best by moving the stone on the surface of the knitting in the direction of the loops. Start lightly at first and increase pressure as needed until the lumps and bumps loosen. Finish by spraying the garment with water and brushing to smooth the roughened surface. A little stone dust always comes off the pumice stone during use, if you have just vacuumed it might be a good idea to use the pumice stone on a clean sheet that you can then shake off.

 

KENT CLOTHING BRUSH CP6

Kent Clothing Brush CP6 is a popular first brush, as you can use it for everything from knits, and scarves to suits. CP6 is the best you can have to take care of all your knitwear. Use the CP6 clothes brush to clean and care for even the finest merino and cashmere sweaters. Wool sweaters should be brushed between uses. Brushing removes dust that has accumulated in the sweater during the day and prevents pimples from forming. The brush is made by Kent Brushes in the UK from dark and light pig hair and mahogany.

 

Use clothes brush CP6 as follows:

Spread the garment on a smooth surface or a pillow. Brush from top to bottom in the direction of the yarn. You can advantageously spray the garment with water before brushing to remove dust and fibers even more easily. After brushing, use the cleaning comb to remove lint from the brush.

 

KENT CLOTHING BRUSH CC20

Double-sided Kent clothes brush CC20 is perfect for cleaning and maintaining thick and hard-wearing materials, such as various wool and denim fabrics. The CC20 clothes brush is, for example, a particularly good choice for servicing woolen jackets and refreshing jeans. The shorter bristle side of the brush effectively removes loose fluff and cleans dried stains from, for example, coat seams or trouser legs. The longer bristle side of the brush removes dust and makes the surface of the material smooth. The brush is made by Kent Brushes in the UK from dark boar bristle and cherry wood.

Use the CC20 clothes brush as follows:

Spread the garment on a smooth surface or a pillow. Start by brushing away any dried-on stains with the shorter side of the brush. Then brush the entire garment from top to bottom in the direction of the yarn with the longer side of the brush. You can advantageously spray the garment with water before brushing to remove dust and fibers even more easily. After brushing, use the cleaning comb to remove lint from the brush.

 

CLEANING COMB

Redecker comb is the cleaning comb for clothes brushes. When you have used the clothes brushes, you will notice that it leaves clothes lint in the clothes brush which is difficult to remove by hand. Use this little comb to clean the clothes brushes and they will last for decades. The cleaning maintains the effectiveness of the brush and prevents the transfer of fibers of different colors from one garment to another. Bonus! Works just as well to clean the hairbrush with!
