Eco-chic fashionistas of Ecover\u2019s<\/a> Green Closet<\/em><\/a> know buying sustainably-made clothing<\/a> is only a small part of greening up your wardrobe and lowering your carbon footprint. It\u2019s equally important to use low environment impact,\u00a0all-natural cleaning products and methods to care for your favorite looks.<\/p>\n

Since its debut in May, the Green Closet <\/em>has become a must-see in the blogosphere for the latest fashion news and tips from designers\u00a0Tara St. James<\/a> and Auralis<\/a>, and celebrities like Kate Middleton<\/a>, Penelope Cruz<\/a>,\u00a0\u00a0and many others. It\u2019s also full of quick and easy information to care for your clothes. For instance, consider skipping the washer and dryer<\/a> to launder your clothes. You\u2019ll use less water and energy. And hand washing<\/a> helps clothes look better and last longer. Find more tips like these at #greencloset on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
