Remember “The Emperor’s New Clothes”? Hans Christian Andersen’s tale of a ruler so vain that he demanded new clothes every day, sometimes every hour, and refused to wear the same pair of clothes twice?

Readers: this is a cautionary tale. As much as we like buying and wearing new clothes, it’s far more sustainable to wash the ones you already have before you throw them out. Nothing against buying a new shirt every now and then, but it’s unwise to forgo washing completely. For starters, it costs a lot of money, especially when a washer and dryer set from Samsung has never been cheaper.
