JAKARTA - When you are going to buy clothes, you should pay attention to many things. Not only the model you like, but also about the ingredients for the manufacture to how to care for these clothes.

This must be done in order to keep clothes good and stay worn for a long time. If you buy clothes but don't know how to care for them, they are very vulnerable to being damaged quickly.

"It's very important (to know how to care for clothes), because if the fiber is damaged later. If we take care of the fabric, of course we must know how to care well," said Melie Indarto, Founder & Director of KaIND, sustainable fashion, in the Fatmawati area, South Jakarta, on Wednesday, February 12, 2025.

Melie explained that special care is needed by clothing, especially if the clothes are made of natural fiber basic ingredients. If you use a cleanr with high chemicals, the fabric can potentially experience damage ranging from torn, fiber not smooth, to color change.

"For example, if we use natural fibers, there will be a potential to be torn or there is a gross (not smooth), the color changes. If the concentrat (fine cleaner) is from a dangerous chemical, it can be destroyed," he explained.

Then Melie suggested using cleaners made from organic materials to clean clothes. Cleaners with natural ingredients will make clothes safe from harmful chemical content effects.

"The organic ingredients are for sure. With that, our fabrics will be safe," concluded Melie Indarto.
