the joy of maintenance 🧼✨
#the prompting context here is 'depilling my old hiking socks (which i mostly these days wear around the house as slipper socks)'#'which is exciting because it's like. all the gratification of getting new ones but for free!'#more people should learn about fabric shavers tbh#or sweater stones or whatever yr preferred method is but like. the number of times online i've seen people bemoaning pilling#and it's like. you could fix that!!!#(separate convo here abt like. fiber length as indicator of Quality but.)#(we're in the scenario where you already own the garment and would like to make it work for you)#or like. this is an anti-plastic clothing blog now but i do have a grandfathered hoodie made of polartec power stretch pro fleece#which is a sleek cozy material but the exterior face does pill up with friction#and again you see people complaining abt that and like. i get that durability and quality are related! that's valid!#but pilling is fundamentally an issue of aesthetics‚ not functionality#and—back to my hobby horse here—a fabric shaver sorts that in approximately three seconds ime!#anyway leather care also falls into this category#as i guess (ey says begrudgingly) do things like 'cleaning one's room'#Get New Stuff For Free! By Restoring It to As Good As#in conclusion time 2 mink oil my various battered boots 🥾#thank u for spending this time with me :)#mundanities
