The Things We Do for Love (And Laundry): How Winter Dating Wrecks Your Clothes

February in New York has a very specific energy. Cold sidewalks, glowing street lights, and heavy coats brushing past strangers. Your favorite outfit makes another appearance because, honestly, it just works. But even trusted sweaters, coats, and trousers pick up more city grime than you realize.

But winter dating is hard on clothes. Between overheated bars subway platforms, makeup transfers, perfume and body heat even your best pieces start holding onto things you did not invite.

The biggest surprise for most clients is how dirty winter clothes actually get. Coats absorb sweat and city grime. Sweaters trap oils and deodorant. Trousers stretch and collect bacteria from sitting all day.

Here is how often you really should be cleaning your winter staples:
• Coats every 4 to 6 weeks depending on wear
• Sweaters after 3 to 5 wears
• Trousers after 2 to 3 wears
• Scarves weekly

Between professional care use steam instead of spraying fragrance. Spot clean makeup immediately. Let garments rest at least 24 hours between wears.

Clean clothes are not just about appearance. They sit better, smell better and last longer.

Start February with a clean slate and a closet that feels just as good as your plans. Text us at 315 284 5689 to request your first pickup!
