#24: That Extra Fabric
When buying new clothes, we often receive those tiny fabric squares and buttons in a clear bag that usually end up in the trash along with the price tag, right? This extra piece, known as a fabric swatch, offers more than spare parts for your attire. Its main role is to let you try various cleaning agents on it to confirm they don’t damage your clothing. This prevents potential laundry disasters, ensuring your new outfit remains pristine.
This highlights the importance of holding onto those fabric swatches and buttons rather than discarding them. Keeping them can be more beneficial than you might think, serving as a practical tool in the care and maintenance of your garments.
