Juliette’s Essential Holiday Travel Laundry Guide
The holiday season is one of the busiest travel times of the year, and whether you're visiting family, exploring new destinations, or attending seasonal events, packing and caring for your clothes can be a challenge. Here’s our travel laundry guide to help you keep your favorite outfits fresh, spotless, and wrinkle-free wherever you’re headed this holiday season.
1. Pack Smart: Choose Versatile, Wrinkle-Resistant Pieces
Tip: Opt for clothes that can handle the journey. Look for fabrics like polyester blends, jersey, and certain types of wool, which resist wrinkles better than linens and silks.
Pro Tip: Roll your clothes instead of folding them to reduce creases and maximize space in your suitcase. For delicate items, try using Juliette’s foldable reusable bags, which are not only sustainable but also perfect for keeping outfits fresh, separate, and protected.
2. Quick Spot-Treatment Tips for Holiday Spills
Tip: Accidents happen, especially during holiday meals. For quick spot treatment, gently blot the stain with a damp cloth—never rub, as that can push stains deeper into the fabric.
DIY Spot Treatment: For emergencies, mix a little water with mild detergent to lightly dab on the stain. Always test on a small, hidden area first!
Pro Tip: Store a small stain removal pen or wipes in your bag for those on-the-go emergencies.
3. Hand-Wash Essentials in a Pinch
Tip: Lightweight and delicate items, like undergarments or silk tops, are easy to hand-wash in a hotel sink. Simply use a mild soap, let them soak for a few minutes, rinse gently, and lay flat on a towel to dry.
Avoid Over-Washing: While it’s tempting to wash everything after a single wear, try only to wash items that need it. Over-washing can cause colors to fade and fabrics to wear out faster.
4. Keep Wrinkles Away While You’re On the Road
Tip: Pack a wrinkle release spray or a mini fabric steamer if space allows. Hanging clothes in a steamy bathroom can also work wonders—just run a hot shower and let your outfit hang nearby to release wrinkles.
Bonus Tip: Using Juliette’s foldable reusable bags for rolled items helps reduce friction in your suitcase, which means fewer wrinkles upon arrival.
5. Freshen Up Without a Laundry Machine
Tip: To keep clothes smelling fresh, tuck a small sachet of dried lavender or a fabric-safe deodorizing sheet into your suitcase.
On-the-Go Refresh: If you’ve been traveling for a while and clothes need refreshing, try spritzing them lightly with fabric spray or let them air out overnight on a hanger.
Holiday travel can be hectic, but your wardrobe doesn’t have to show it! With these packing and care tips, you can keep your favorite outfits fresh, wrinkle-free, and ready for every festive occasion. And remember, Juliette’s travel-friendly foldable reusable bags make holiday laundry care easier, eco-friendly, and efficient.
