We all want our clothes to last as long as possible, and that includes our second-hand garments. But… How can you make them last for years to come when we do our laundry? Extend the life of your pre-loved wardrobe with Love2Laundry, and see what magic we can do to make sure you get to enjoy all your new favourite clothes for longer.
At Love2Laundry, we answer all your important questions – can you wear second-hand clothes without washing them first? How can you make your preloved clothes look new and remove ‘that smell’? Whether you want to know if it’s a good idea to wear thrifted clothes, why they have that unique smell, or how you should clean them, we love talking about second-hand clothes – because second-hand is the future.
For now, let’s focus on how to extend the life of your pre-loved wardrobe with Love2Laundry, so let’s jump into it. By the end, you might want to consider getting a head start on your second-hand clothing by letting us help you.
Why We Love Pre-Loved Clothing
Did you know that only 1% of clothing items are recycled into new clothes, and that the clothing industry is responsible for around 10% of global carbon emissions? Not only that, but in 2020, this industry generated roughly 270 kg of CO2 emissions per person, according to the EU Parliament.
Just from those two sentences, it is clear that the clothing industry is a killer, and it has a remarkable impact on our planet – and not a good one. However, even with this in mind, less than half of adults over the age of 45 are unwilling to shop second-hand, according to some polls. In contrast, the majority of 18–34-year-olds are more than happy to, and in fact do opt for second-hand clothes.
At Love2Laundry, we are about that planet. That’s why we do everything we can to make sure that our practices are sustainable and as neutral, or even positive, as it can be. We want to help make a difference, and because of this, we love working with second-hand clothes to make sure they feel like yours.
After all, who wants to wear garments that still feel like they belong to someone else?
Caring for Your Own Pre-Loved Clothing
Caring for your own pre-loved clothes can be daunting if you aren’t familiar with them. In fact, a lot of second-hand clothes can easily get ruined if you blindly wash and dry them like you would any other garments, since different fabrics need to be treated in particular ways.
Even before you have to care for your new garments, you will face the challenge of getting rid of smells and stains from the clothing, and this can be incredibly difficult without the right tools. From food odours and perfume to stains that won’t budge, getting pre-loved clothes to feel like yours can take a lot of work.
So, why not get us to help you instead?

What Can We Do That You Can’t?
At Love2Laundry, not only do we have the skilled professionals who know their way around different fabrics and cleaning methods, but we also have all the right machines. The right equipment can make all the difference when it comes to pre-loved clothes, whether it’s for dry cleaning, steaming, or specific stain removal, we are your best bet.
That isn’t to say that our kind of services will always be necessary, but we can save you a lot of time and a headache or two when you need it. If you have just gone out and bought some second-hand clothes that are stained or smell, we can deal with it all for you and get your clothes that much closer to feeling like your own.
Dry Cleaning Extends the Life of Clothing
Did you know that dry cleaning is fantastic for extending the life of your garments? As the name suggests, no water is used in the dry cleaning process, and instead, a chemical solvent that isn’t water based is used.
This can be fantastic for a variety of clothes, and it isn’t something that you can do at home. If you recently bought second-hand and want to do everything in your power to make your garments last as long as possible, dry cleaning is the way forward.
Just remember that not all fabrics need to be dry-cleaned! For example, cotton, acrylic, and nylon do not benefit from dry cleaning, while velvet, and silk certainly do.
