Naturally Fresh: Switching Your Wardrobe from Summer to Fall

As the crisp mornings of fall begin to settle in, it’s time to put away lightweight summer clothes and bring out the warm sweaters, cozy jackets, and scarves. But before you tuck away tank tops and sundresses or pull out those wool layers, a little care can go a long way to keep your clothes looking their best.

Step 1: Wash Before You Store

Summer clothes collect sunscreen oils, sweat, and even traces of insect repellent. Storing them without a proper wash can leave stains to set in permanently and attract moths or mildew. Using a natural laundry solution ensures your fabrics are fresh and free from lingering chemicals when you bring them back out next year.

Step 2: Choose Natural Storage Options

Plastic bins may trap moisture and lead to musty smells. Instead, try breathable cotton garment bags or cardboard boxes lined with acid-free paper. Add natural moth deterrents like cedar blocks or lavender sachets to keep pests away without harmful chemicals.

Step 3: Freshen Up Fall Favorites

Before slipping into your sweaters and jackets, give them a quick refresh. Even clothes that were cleaned before storage can feel a little stale. A gentle natural spray or light wash helps remove dust and restores softness without harsh fragrances.

Step 4: Simplify as You Transition

Season changes are a great opportunity to declutter. If there are summer clothes you didn’t wear, consider donating them before packing them away. Likewise, if a fall item feels worn out or doesn’t spark joy anymore, replace it with something you’ll truly enjoy wearing.

Step 5: Keep It Natural

When you care for your clothes with plant-based, chemical-free cleaners, you’re not just protecting fabrics — you’re also keeping your skin, home, and environment healthier. Natural Ginesis products are designed to keep your wardrobe fresh, safe, and ready for every season.
