Laundry made easier: Practical tools for a tidy wardrobe

A clean and organised wardrobe does more than just enhance your appearance. It fosters a sense of control, reduces stress and brings structure to one's daily life. For many, doing laundry, when approached with the right techniques and tools, can be a source of accomplishment.

Proper laundering not only ensures hygiene but also extends the lifespan of our garments. Using the right detergents, washing methods and drying techniques helps preserve fabric quality and prevent wear and tear.

However, in Bangladesh, laundry is predominantly a manual chore, with clothes typically dried under direct sunlight. While sunlight naturally sanitises clothes, prolonged exposure can fade colours and weaken fabric fibres, reducing their longevity.

To streamline your laundry routine and boost efficiency, The Business Standard has curated a selection of practical tools and products designed to make the process hassle-free and effective.
