When you buy a new cloth like skirt or trousers, you often find a matching piece of fabric with an extra button and some threads inside a small plastic bag like a Ziplock. It’s attached to the clothing tag.
Have you ever wondering, what are those for?
Well, those are given to you with a few of reasons.
- A matching Fabric
The real purpose is to make sure certain cleaning products won’t ruin the material before you wash your new skirt or pants.
You can test the detergent on the sample fabric to see how it will react with different types of detergent. We want to know if they will shrink if you use bleach, or which detergent is better, whether it’s powder, liquid, mild, wool detergent and others.
- Extra Button
It is obvious that the function of this additional button is as a replacement if any button falls.
- Threads
This extra thread is used for sewing if your clothes have holes or tears. The most common ones you find when buying new clothes.
You don’t have to go to a fabric store to look for the threads that is the same color as your clothes. And this additional is very helpful if your fabric has a certain type of material (such as merino wool, chasmere, etc) with the manufacture’s color formula.
Always read your fabrics and tags for laundry instructions or cleaning information on your clothes if you don’t want to spoil your beautiful clothing.
Read carefully, how to wash it can be done. Is it only by manual wash using hands, find out about the water temperature that can be used, for drying whether to dry not dry, not iron and so on …
Lastly, if you have luxury clothes, I think you better go to a professional laundromat.
