Summer clothes are all about comfort. But along with comfort, washing them in summer needs a little extra care. Sweat, dust, and heat can damage the fabric faster if not cleaned properly.
Here’s how you can keep your summer clothes fresh, soft, and long-lasting.
1. Wash Clothes More Frequently
Summer means sweat. And leaving sweaty clothes unwashed for too long can lead to bad odour, stubborn stains, and even fabric damage.
So, what’s the best way to wash them?
Wash your summer clothes as soon as possible after wearing them — especially t-shirts, kurtas, and undergarments.
2. Always Sort Before Washing
Light fabrics like cotton and linen can get damaged if washed with heavy clothes like denim. Sorting clothes before washing in summer ensures delicate fabrics get the care they need.
- Wash Light colours with light colours
- Wash Dark colours separately
- Wash Heavy vs light fabrics separately
3. Use the Right Detergent
Summer clothes need gentle care. Harsh detergents may remove dirt and stains, but they can also make the fabric rough and worn out over time.
- Use Mild detergents for daily wear
- Use Fabric softeners for cotton clothes
- Use Stain removers only on targeted areas
4. Don’t Over-Dry in the Sun
Sunlight is good for killing germs, but too much of it fades colours and hardens fabrics. Always:
- Dry clothes in shade or Avoid direct sunlight
- Turn clothes inside out before drying
- Avoid leaving them out for too long
5. Store Clean, Not Just Dry
Storing sweaty clothes can create a weird “summer smell.” Always store clothes after:
- Washing properly
- Drying completely
- Folding neatly

Some fabrics like pure linen, or silk blends need professional cleaning — especially if they have sweat stains or are heavily used.
