Packing Tips

Packing-Tips-Sweet-Pea-Womens-Preloved

Don't let your hard work go to waste! Here are our top packing tips to ensure your clothes get to us in tip top condition.

1️⃣ Please ensure you freshly wash clothes. Did you know that stains can appear over time? So those clothes you packed away a couple of years ago could now of formed yellowing. Please also check under arm areas, especially on light clothing.

2️⃣ Rolling items will ensure creases - it's a deffo, no no! Using starch on things like shirts and trousers will help keep their perfect shape, but it's not essential.

3️⃣ Once Ironed fold your item and give it another quick press while folded, ‘stabilising’ the item.

4️⃣ Packing - it’s best to use a box to keep clothes as neat as possible although some ironing/packing masters can achieve miracles! Remember if theres room in the top of the box either fill in the void, or cut down each corner with scissors to lower the fold point so clothes don't get the opportunity to tumble around.

5️⃣ Start with your t-shirts and flat items at the bottom of your parcel, then larger ‘lumpier’ items like jeans followed by coats. This will stop lumpy items creasing flatter items! Clever huh?

Yes it is possible to get items to me looking as perfect as when you ironed them 🤩

So there you have it, 5 simple steps to packing heaven 🤣😍
