Why Do Holes Form in Shirts and How to Avoid Them? (Page 2 ) | March 22, 2025

Proper care of your clothes
It is advisable to follow the washing instructions on the label, use gentle cycles and not overload the machine to prevent clothes from catching on each other.
Avoid aggressive clothespins
It is better to lay t-shirts flat or hang them on hangers rather than using clothespins which risk weakening the fabric.
Choose good quality textiles
Thicker or better quality cotton will withstand rubbing and repeated washing better.
Protecting Clothes from Moths
Using sachets of lavender, cedar or rosemary in the wardrobe can naturally repel insects that can damage fabrics.
How to repair small holes?
Make a small, discreet seam
If the hole is small, it is possible to close it with thread and a needle by making a few tight stitches to prevent it from getting bigger.
Camouflage with embroidery or a patch
For a creative side, adding embroidery, a badge or a piece of fabric can transform the t-shirt while repairing it.
With these tips, it is possible to extend the life of your shirts and avoid having to buy new ones too often. Proper maintenance and a few precautions are enough to keep your clothes in good condition for longer.
