INVEST IN THE RIGHT GADGETS

DRAWER LINERS

Wipe-clean draw liners allow for spillages, dust and dirt to be wiped away with a wet cloth.

Drawer liners, £9.48, Simply Drawer Liners

LINT ROLLER

Dog hair, fluff, stray hairs… make that black wool coat look good as new! Lint roller, £9.99, Zara

HANDHELD STEAMER

If you hate ironing, you need to treat yourself to a handheld steamer. Our top buy heated up in 29 seconds on test at the GHI and its small tank lasted for a while before needing a refill. Plus, the hot steam will kill off any moth larvae and eggs, reduce bad smells and kill bacteria, too.

Philips Steam&go Plus, £74.99, Amazon

ELECTRIC DE-BOBBLER

It’s an unavoidable fact that wool and cashmere bobble with wear. To stop knits looking shabby, use our topscoring fabric shaver designed to gently remove pills.

Philips Fabric Shaver, £15.99, Amazon

KNITWEAR STORAGE BAGS

When I told Julia Dee, founder of Total Wardrobe Care, that I have my cashmere in my wardrobe (with no doors) she told me, ‘It’s like food for moths – they’ll just dive in.’ Storage bags, £18 for 2,

Total Wardrobe Care

FOLDING BOARD

If jumpers are folded to the same shape and size, they’ll stack better. Folding board, £17.95, Brabantia

VELVET HANGERS

Wooden hangers are great, but velvet ones are better as they’re extra slim, so you can usually fit more of them into a wardrobe, plus clothes don’t slip off. Velvet hangers, £7.99 for 10, The Hanger Store

FABRIC SPRAY

Refresh, don’t wash unless you have to. Over-washing woollens and denim is the quickest way to damage your yarns.

Laundry mist, £9, The Lab Co.

MOTH REPELLENT

I have these anti-moth sachets hanging in my wardrobe and they smell so good! Hanging sachets, £28 for a pack of 5, Total Wardrobe Care
