Jeans and 6 more things from your closet that cannot be washed more than once a year

There are things that we wash every week and can't even imagine how it could be otherwise. But some of the clothes do not require such "obsessive" care. Here are seven things you need to wash very rarely, almost once a year. Well, or a couple of times a year, if we make an allowance for our not too clean streets.
Real jeans
We mean your very expensive pure cotton jeans (and not those with 45% lycra), which you wear quite rarely, writes Delfi Dom & Sad... Cotton is a delicate fabric, does not like washing, and therefore the less often you wash, the longer your jeans will last. To get rid of unpleasant odors between washes, use a fabric freshener and steam quickly to "knock out" any foreign odors. And if you decide to wash, then remember: inside out, only in cold water and no dryers!
Wool coat
In fact, you just have to take it to dry cleaning once a year - after the end of the season. We do not recommend “washing” yourself, especially if it is really expensive and good. Proper care and storage includes gentle brushing and wooden hangers that do not sag under the weight of the fabric. And yes, there is plenty of free space in the closet for the fabric to breathe.
The vintage poncho you bought at the flea market
Not only a poncho - any old clothes need careful care, which includes, if not refusing to wash, then certainly as long as possible pauses between the treatment of old fabrics with cleaning products. Use a regular brush and less often washing powder - and antiques will last longer.

Leather Jacket
These things are never cheap, so entrust the cleaning to professionals. Of course, stains can be wiped off with a damp cloth, but nothing more. Store in a dry and well-ventilated place with plenty of free space around - the skin must "breathe" and be dry, or you ruin it.
Fashion sneakers
We're not talking about what you wear to the gym or down the street (please wash them MUCH !!!). We're talking about a very expensive and very fashionable pair that you have in your wardrobe and that you rarely wear. They cannot be washed in a washing machine, and neither should they be exposed to aggressive chemicals. “Soak” several times a year in water and wipe gently is possible.

Wedding rings
If you wash your hands without removing the rings, then this is enough to not worry about their cleanliness. If the rings are very expensive, with stones and complex alloys, go to the jeweler once a year to check their integrity and undergo special cleaning.
Felt hat
Brushing (in one direction!) Is enough to keep the hat looking good at all times. It is best to store them in a hat box upside down. If a particularly stubborn stain has settled on a good expensive hat, take it to a professional dry cleaner.
